Integrity's Role
Integrity
USA was founded in 1974 by
Dr.
Louie Crew who lived in rural Georgia. Integrity has been
the leading grassroots voice for the full inclusion of LGBTQ persons in the
Episcopal Church and our equal access to its rites. However,
advocacy is but one facet of our ministry. At the national level and
in
local chapters
and
diocesan
networks throughout the country, the primary activities are:
-
worship
-
fellowship
-
education
-
communication
-
outreach,
and
-
service
to the church
Through
Integrity's evangelism, thousands of LGBTQ people, estranged from the
Episcopal Church and other denominations, have returned to parish life.

While the Episcopal Church has made tremendous strides toward
inclusiveness, it still has a long way to go. In too many parishes
and dioceses, prejudice and oppression are still the norm. Whatever
your sexual orientation, Integrity-Hartford welcomes you for worship,
fellowship, education, communication, outreach, and service to the church.
