Social Justice Council

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, & Transgender Task Force

 

VISION STATEMENT

Educate, advocate, and celebrate diversity...

MISSION STATEMENT


The Unitarian Universalist goals of equality and justice inspire the mission of the Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender (LGBT) Task Force of the Cedar Lane Unitarian Universalist Church (CLUUC). Our mission is to integrate the goals of the Living the Welcoming Congregation initiative* into the ongoing life of our faith community and beyond. We seek to build relationships and foster awareness of LGBT life, culture, and families through activities that:

  • Encourage acceptance of LGBT identity in oneself and others;

  • Nurture understanding, respect, and dialogue among LGBT persons and the larger CLUUC community; and

  • Help make the world safe and equitable for members of the LGBT community.

The principles** underlying our mission include believing in the inherent worth of each individual; respecting, valuing, and celebrating diversity; and actively working for peace, liberty, and justice in the
CLUUC community and beyond.

*Living the Welcoming Congregation is an initiative of the Unitarian Universalist Association.
 
**These principles conform to the seven principles that provide the underpinning of the Unitarian Universalist Association.

The Task Force typically meets from 7 pm – 9 pm on the third Thursday of the month. Visitors are welcome. Please call the church at (301) 493-8300 or contact Marge Dimond at margeryjd@aol.com, or Stephen Colgan at smcolgan@hotmail.com to confirm location.
