Earlier this month, the progressive Christian publication Sojourners, chose not to run an ad campaign encouraging churches to welcome and fully include LGBTQ people. The campaign included a video, depicting a lesbian couple and their son being met with both suspicion and welcome when they visit a new church, is part of the Believe Out Loud coalition’s Mothers Day campaign. http://www.believeoutloud.com

BELIEVE - AN LGBT COMMUNITY & OUTREACH GROUP AT ST. JAMES UNITED CHURCH IN MONTREAL, INVITE YOU TO ATTEND:

With the recent rash of teen suicides and the 4 gays tortured in NYC, please join us for an EXTREMELY IMPORTANT evening of discussion, on COMING OUT STORIES as led by a mother who has a gay son. We can discuss how we as a community can create change in the light of increasing violence & homophobia.

Rev. Cheri DiNovo had an interview about her life in Ontario politics now in the Observer. If you have the time, please read it and listen to what she has to say:

She asks "Would that the United Church came to pray and sit with its members!" I think it's really moving.
