New Resources for Open & Affirming Churches and Supporters

Open & Affirming E-Mail List

The Open & Affirming Ministry Team has set up an e-mail list server for Open & Affirming Churches, their members, as well as for those who wish to know more about Open & Affirming ministries or to help their own congregations more towards becoming Open & Affirming.

This e-mail list will allow you to communicate with the community simply by e-mailing to the list.  You can receive e-mails as they are sent, or in "digest" form, which is a summary of the day's e-mails to the list.

Click here to sign up for the list. 

If you have questions or problems signing up, e-mail us at glad@gladalliance.org.

GLAD Alliance Mission

The mission of GLAD Alliance is to be a safe and faithful place for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,Transgender, and Affirming community.

Relying on Holy Spirit, we speak truth to power, advocating for inclusivity, diversity, and justice in all manifestations of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).

Committed to transformation, we offer ourselves through education, witness, and strategic action as a visible presence in solidarity with those marginalized within the Church.

We stand boldly within the Church to proclaim and embody the gracious call to ministry for the whole people of God.
