An Announcement from the Bishop's Committee (Parish Council)
The Bishop's Committee of Grace Episcopal Church has unanimously approved the following motion:
Moved: Grace Episcopal Church affirms that it is a Welcoming Congregation, one in which gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, or transgender persons, either singly or with their partners, are welcomed and treated the same as all other persons or couples in the parish. Additionally, being welcoming means that all LGBT persons will be considered for leadership positions, including serious and honest consideration for Holy Orders, without regard to sexual orientation or gender identity. Furthermore, Grace Episcopal Church affirms that the rites "Celebration and Blessing of a Marriage" and "The Blessing of a Civil Marriage" should be available to all LGBT couples. Come Join Us!
