PRIDE is an opportunity for LGBTQIA+ persons to celebrate their true selves and for their allies to celebrate with them. We can celebrate that our denomination no longer has the hurtful language about homosexuality, the restrictions on LGTQIA+ clergy and restrictions on clergy who minister to LGBTQIA+ persons.
After a fantastic PRIDE month last year, it’s time to continue celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community.
