The first Believe Out Loud provincial workshop will be held in San Diego on May 7-8, 2010.
Believe Out Loud is a trans-denominational movement to articulate a welcome to GLBT people. Integrity has launched a Believe Out Loud Episcopal Congregations movement.
During the spring and summer of 2010, Integrity USA will be holding a series for workshops in every province of The Episcopal Church. They are designed to give local Episcopalians the knowledge and skills they need to help their parishes and dioceses become more welcoming and affirming of GLBT folk. The first conference will be here in San Diego, partly held at St Paul’s. More information, including registration info, is here.
