Clergy

Sporting T-shirts with rainbows, Episcopal shields and slogans such as "Our welcome is wide," "We are all part of one human family" and "I'm a Christian and I support equality," more than 200 Episcopalians from the Dioceses of Newark and New York marched together down 5th Avenue in NYC at the Gay Pride March on June 30.

[The Cleveland Plain Dealer] Five years ago, three courageous men of faith took the bold initiative to create an interfaith alliance built on the monotheist traditions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, the understanding that the three religions are inextricably linked to one another.

[Episcopal News Service] Steve Price’s white gardenia boutonniere and diamond pinkie ring were bittersweet tributes among a sea of joy at the June 27 “Celebration of Equality” at St. John’s Pro-Cathedral in Los Angeles.

From Los Angeles to New York, worshippers gathered across the church to celebrate in very public and very personal ways, after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and ruled California’s ban on gay marriage (Proposition 8) unconstitutional.

Do you hunger for a more serious Bible study than the short dip most of us get in Adult forums or Bible study? Then EfM – Education for [Lay] Ministry may be for you.
