Somewhere Out There
Welcome to Integrity of Greater Hartford
We invite you to join us in
our efforts to realize the goal of full inclusion of LGBT persons in the
Episcopal Church and our equal access to its all it's rites. The
details of our next meeting are outlined below:
June
2009 Events:
Dear Integrity Friends:
We will soon be entering the month of June, which for those of us in the GLBT community is Pride month. The 2009 Connecticut PRIDE Rally and Festival is being held from 11:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., Saturday, June 6, 2009, in Hartford's Bushnell Park (on the Capitol Lawn)
This year’s them is: Your Rights, Our Rights, Human Rights. For additional information please visit www.ConnecticutPride.org
Integrity/Greater Hartford
& Integrity/Waterbury Area are proud to host an information booth at
this year's festivities.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?
This is a unique
opportunity to bring the Gospel of Welcome to the GLBT community and
open doors of the Episcopal Church within our Connecticut Diocese. We
need volunteers and invite you to the Rally and Festival to help us at
our table or simply come to visit us and enjoy the day.
WHAT CAN YOUR
CHURCH DO?
Under the
umbrella of Integrity we are seeking representatives from all parishes
in our Diocese, as this will be a chance to put your specific parish
community on the map as a place of true welcome for Lesbian, Gay,
Transgendered and Bisexual people of faith. We are asking any and all
Episcopal churches to send one or more representatives (lay/clergy) to
be present at our booth for a segment of the day. We would encourage you
to bring along any literature about your parish and its ministries, as
well as any liturgical banners to display and represent your church.
We welcome your involvement in this important ministry. Please let us
know by May 30th if we can expect your participation on June 6th. Please
e-mail your confirmation to
john-albert.moseley@yale.edu. We would love
to see as many
WELCOMING PARISHES across the state join us and put your
parish on the map.
As many of us know, this is a critical time for LGBTQ Episcopalians as
we enter General Convention with such important issues facing us as the
Body of Christ. Being a presence of welcome at CT Pride is more
important than ever.
With Integrity,
John-Albert
Convener, Integrity/Greater Hartford
