Reconciling in Christ 

LGBTQIA+ Welcoming and Affirming

Knowing that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer persons and their families have felt exclusion in many places (the Church included), we are committed in our welcome and affirmation, as well as ongoing learning and awareness of theological and social issues facing the LGBTQIA+ community.

About the Reconciling In Christ Program

Since 1974, ReconcilingWorks: Lutherans for Full Participation has advocated for the full welcome, inclusion, and equity of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) Lutherans in all aspects of the life of their Church, congregations, and community. The Reconciling in Christ (RIC) Program is for congregations, synods, colleges, seminaries, and other Lutheran organizations and ministry communities who have made a public commitment to welcome, include and celebrate lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQIA+) people.
