As we bring this year to a close, I am proud to report that our high-quality and innovative programs continue to make a real difference in the lives of LGBTQ people, our families, and our faith communities.
Here are just a few highlights from our work in 2024:
Our ever-growing library of resources now include dozens of video recordings of programs from our African American, Asian American Pacific Islander, Catholic, Jewish, Latinx, and Transgender Roundtables;
Ground-breaking scholarship is highlighted in our annual Harkness and Boswell Lectures, which feature internationally-recognized scholars, religious leaders, and social-change activists. Please join us online on 8 May 2025 as we welcome Fordham University Professor Bryan Massingale as our 18th Annual CLGS Boswell Lecturer;
New resources for pastoral care and community-building, including the most recent programs in our CLGS Sacred Texts series, all available on our YouTube channel;
Cutting-edge educational programs, including our Certificate of Sexuality and Religion, which is available in both online and hybrid formats – and it can be completed in one academic year;
Vibrant conversations, mentoring, and spiritual formation for our 13th Trans Religious Leadership Cohort, with students from a variety of religious and spiritual traditions; and
Weekly social media poststhat help communities of faith expand their welcome of LGBTQ people, respond to current events, and address the spiritual needs of our communities.
We hope that you will join us in 2025 for several (or more!) CLGS programs that bring our work in advocacy, community-building, education, and research to people all over the world.
And I invite you to show your support for CLGS by making a gift of any amount. Whatever you can give, know that we deeply appreciate – and need – your generous support for our work, which advances the well-being of LGBTQ people everywhere.
