As people of faith, many of us are called to act for justice. To heal the rift between faith communities and lesbian gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people, we are driven to engage our congregations and people of faith in the movement for LGBT equality and to safeguard religious freedom.
Clergy and lay leaders from a diversity of religious traditions are uniting in California Faith for Equality, a statewide network of congregations and people of faith committed to equality.
The California Faith for Equality coalition helps faith leaders and communities, some of whom may not have the support of their denominational bodies, to become effectively engaged in the struggle for equality, while also helping secular LGBT leadership connect with these faith communities.
