Conversations
As Presbyterians, we know that only together can we come to a greater understanding of God’s will and the future of our church.
Recently, our churches have been called to discuss marriage and how to make our churches more welcoming to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) families.
In a joint project with Community House Presbyterian Church in Pittsburgh, we offer these resources and reflections to help guide a gracious and thoughtful discussion among all members of our churches. Our hope is that these resources help us find a better way to be the Church in the world and to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God.
