New Grant to Fund Faith-based LGBT Initiatives

Lancaster Pride — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 16:47:02 +0000

Come Let Us Reason Together

The LGBT Community Center has received a $9,000 grant from the E. Rhodes & Leona B. Carpenter Foundation to launch “Come Let Us Reason Together,” an outreach and education program connecting faith-based communities and leaders with LGBT populations in central Pennsylvania. The grant will help fund three phases of the project: a clergy roundtable that will meet monthly to discuss LGBT issues and policies within their congregations; an education and film series that will focus on bridging the gap between faith-based and LGBT communities; and a resource library for LGBT people of faith.

For more information, please contact the Center at info@centralpalgbtcenter.org or (717) 920-9534

A BIG Thanks!
