Fantastic resource for those in Catholic spaces!

To help Catholics who want to bless same-sex couples, New Ways Ministry is making available the text of a blessing ceremony that all people--lay, vowed, ordained--can use.

“ people have been here forever, and black transgender people have been here forever... I’m really proud to have achieved that status, and I look forward to more trans people joining me in elected office, and all other kinds of leadership roles in our society.” AMEN.

Andrea Jenkins has made history as the first openly transgender black woman elected to public office in the United States, gender advocates say.

"May comfort all who mourn and embolden our commitment to making change."

Gun violence feels all too common these days, but as disciples of Christ, of the one who taught us about alternative possibilities to all that is unjust, we must keep advocating for change.

More great pictures from this week’s gathering.

This week, Drew Konow, our Director of Communications and LGBTQ Programs, attended Rolling the Stone Away a conference celebrating the history and envisioning the future of the Christian movement for LGBTQ justice. The conference brought together a diverse body of elders, saints, and prophets to tell their stories, preserve their histories, and engage in dialogue with present-day leaders. This gathering was certainly one for the history books. Video of the conference can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsahrBSXrSIFZzUR2LDnndQ/videos
