The United Church of Christ approved two resolutions recently in support of LGBT equality, including the first-ever one by a major Christian denomination affirming the right of LGBT parents to adopt and raise children. A second resolution was in support of international human rights for all people, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. I wrote a fuller piece on this over at Keen News Service; I hope some of you will go have a read. Thanks to reader Mainecelt who left a comment about the resolutions a couple of weeks ago.
I’m not a UCC member myself, but notable people who have been members of a UCC church include President Obama, who attended Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago for 20 years.
