Here's What's Happening |
Integrity NYC-Metro is the local chapter of IntegrityUSA, the Episcopal Church's ministry by and for LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) people and those who love them. Our chapter is based in New York City, but our reach extends eastwards onto Long Island, northwards into Downstate, and west and south into New Jersey, an area that includes portions of three dioceses (Long Island, New York and Newark). We partner with congregations and other organizations (including The OASIS (the Diocese of Newark's LGBT ministry, and the LGBT Concerns Committee of the Diocese of New York) to further a common goal: the full inclusion of all the baptized in all the sacraments. If you are looking for a church home, we can help you choose one where you will feel not only safe but valued and included. If you belong to a congregation and wish to make it more welcoming, we offer workshops and access to educational materials. If you are looking to meet others and make a difference, we plan social activities, service projects, themed worship services and coordinated Episcopal participation in pride and other community events. This site is new, and we encourage you to either network with us on Facebook, read our blog, or both while we continue to add content here.
