UUSS Welcoming Congregation Program & Interweave Chapter
The Welcoming Congregation Program is a voluntary program for congregations desiring to become more inclusive towards lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people. It features a series of workshops developed by the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) with the goal of reducing prejudice by increasing understanding and acceptance among people of different sexual orientations. Some of the workshop titles include "What We Know and How We Learned It," "Gender Socialization and Homophobia," and "How Homophobia Hurts Us All." For more information about the program see Welcoming Congregation I Introduction and the OBGLTC Home Page.
