An LGBTQ Welcoming Committee
On April 3, 2016, the members of UUFKC voted unanimously to become an official
WELCOMING CONGREGATION
Recognized by the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA).
Being a Welcoming Congregation means that we affirm and include people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer at every level of congregational life - in worship, in program, and in social occasions - welcoming them as whole people.
WE HAVE PLEDGED TO:
-
Honor the lives of all people and equally affirm displays of caring and affection without regard for sexual orientation.
-
Celebrate diversity by using inclusive language and content in worship.
-
Incorporate an understanding of the experience of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer persons throughout all of our programs, including religious education.
-
Affirm and celebrate lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer issues and history.
-
Affirm marriage equality and conduct same-sex weddings.
-
Advocate for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people, promoting justice, freedom, and equality in the larger society. We speak out when the rights and dignity of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people are at stake.
