Is this a sign that my local Episcopal church is LGBT-friendly, too?

Question

I know they have female priests.

... and male priests. I looked at their online priest schedule and it seems to be divided equally between males and females.

Answer 1

all churches should be LGBT friendly, they're souls too!!! check out Sundance Channel's One Punk Under God................love to jay

Answer 2

Personally, the fact that your church has female priests may or may not be a good sign. After all, United churches have female ministers and they've conducted same-sex marriage since the 80's. I wouldn't use this fact alone to assume that your church is LGBT-friendly. I would either call the church and ask or, if you're not brave enough (particularly what they'll say when they say 'no'.") there are websites online that list LGBT-friendly churches by state or province.

Here's one I found.

If this isn't good, just look up "GLBT-friendly episcopal" and your state/province in a seach engine.

Answer 3

I'm sorry to hear that your Episcopal house of worship is in question. There is a divide, as I'm sure you know, within the church and some have broken away from the 'flock'. I'm an old school person. I believe that any house of worship that promotes a lifestyle against the laws of God is just wrong. Women as Priests is wrong, gays as Bishops. They are our spiritual leaders and their 'choice' to follow the cannons of the faith can not be upheld if their morale compass is out of whack.

Answer 4

Nope, that's not a sign. Just as there are female Klan members, there are female homophobes. Just look at Lynn Chaney...

Answer 5

Nothing to do with gay friendly or not.

Why don't you call and ask them?
