Believe Out Loud workshops will help you to speak to people in your church or diocese about why it's important to welcome and include LGBT people in the life of your church communities. After a long time of specific exclusion from Christian communities, gay and lesbian, bisexual and transgender people are looking for a specific welcome to come back to the church. With the tools you will gain from this workshop, you can work with your fellow Christians to build your churches as inclusive communities that welcome EVERYONE into the body of Christ.

The event takes place at the LGBT Community Center on 13th Street near 7th Avenue (click here for address and directions). For more information, contact our Diocesan Organizer, Paul Lane, by email or phone (646-456-8705). Payment in advance is preferred, but may be done at the door. If you choose to do this, choose "pay by mail" as you check out, and bring it with you. Registration starts at 12 noon; the workshop starts promptly at 1pm.
