Welcoming Congregation Resolution
After a two-year process of study and reflection on the role of religious doctrine and religious institutions in perpetuating prejudice and misunderstanding toward gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered people, the members of this congregation adopted the following resolution at a Congregational Meeting on March 8, 1998. Be it resolved the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Syracuse shall henceforth be known as a Welcoming Congregation. We celebrate and support the lives, relationships, religious quests, and contributions of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered people, and their families and friends. We affirm and promote the full participation of all people at every level of our congregation and community. We pledge our society's commitment to do its part to heal centuries of religious and societal based oppression and prejudice, making our church a sanctuary of spiritual growth and welcome for all.
