The PC(USA) and the LGBTQIA+ Equity Advocacy Committee wish you a happy Pride month! To kick it off, we’re sharing an excerpt from the 223rd General Assembly (2018) item, “On Celebrating the Gifts of People of Diverse Sexual Orientations and Gender Identities in the Life of the Church."
The General Assembly established the Advocacy Committee for LGBTQIA+ Equity, which focuses on promoting and ensuring equal rights and opportunities for LGBTQIA+ individuals. Advocacy committees within the denomination serve as a mechanism for accountability and prophetic witness. Together with ministry areas such as Women and Gender Justice, the advocacy committee seeks to address and rectify injustices faced by LGBTQIA+ groups and other groups historically marginalized and silenced due to oppressive power structures perpetuated by human sinfulness.
