We strive to make a home for those who are unreached, or feel unwelcome or uncomfortable in their communities. At the same time we welcome those who are for the first time coming to learn of God's love and seeking a way to worship and pray with others.

Nice to be mentioned in this @HRC resource page along with the Orthodox-Catholic Church of America.
We are indeed an organization of Orthodox LGBT followers of Christ, and according to a 2018 survey 66% of Orthodox support LGBT equality.

Today, Orthodox Christians celebrate Easter, commemorating the resurrection of Christ. We wish all who observe, around the world, a blessed, peaceful and hopeful Easter. #HappyEaster Happy #OrthodoxEaster🕊️

PROFESSION OF FAITH
We believe in God, who has created and
who is creating, and whose divinity
infuses life with the sacred. We believe
in the multiple revelations of God, alive
in every human heart, expressed in
every culture, found in all the wisdoms
of the world.
The "difference" between Orthodox Catholics and Roman Catholics? Only one: papal supremacy. Orthodox Catholics honour the Bishop of Rome but not as the head of the whole church. For us Jesus is the highest authority, which cannot be transferred.

@BeingLGBTQPod More than that, we have living history that never gets accessed. There are individual stories from a very small generation (the AIDS generation) that only has 25% of those stories remaining compared to previous ones.
Sad that they're not being recognized.
@GiacoSanfilippo Not all churches are doing this. Even the mighty oak in its steadfastness is not the same this year as last year. Change is necessary. We can change and still be the same. Life isn't black & white.
The challenge is we have to embrace change and difference. That's where we fail.
For those all of those who would like to gather together we are meeting near Niagara Falls, New York. You only have to pay transportation and $100 registration fee.
ALL ARE WELCOME!
If you need this in a PDF version just email us!
All Orthodox LGBT people are invited to a gathering near Niagara Falls for three days. You just pay for your travel and a $100 registration fee. Everything else is covered.

"The Bible teaches us not to be afraid of our history," writes @ThomasReeseSJ.
"It teaches us that history is not to make us arrogant and proud."
