Show your PRIDE: Give OUT

It was at the 1977 General Assembly in Kansas City that the late Carol Blakely of Caldwell, Idaho, a Disciple mother of a gay son, broke silence and called all Disciples to name the reality that LGBTQ+ and affirming persons are our sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, [siblings], parents, congregants, pastors and staff. General resolutions GA-1327 and GA-1929 called the church to widen the welcome. We have the challenge and opportunity to hear the call anew and live into this call today.

Pride month was full of worship and learning. The last day of the month, June 30, was Give OUT Day; the only national day of giving for LGBTQ organizations. We are still asking members and friends to show their pride and give so that we can live into our call to build a just and inclusive church.
