Reconciling in Christ
For All, With All

All Are Welcome at the Table

  • In 1984, Lutherans Concerned North America started this program to recognize Lutheran congregations that welcome lesbian and gay believers. The complete Reconciling in Christ roster now exceeds 450 settings, including congregations, synods, colleges, seminaries, and organizations in the U.S. and Canada.
  • Lutherans Concerned is an ELCA-wide organization designed to increase inclusivity of LGBT individuals within its communities and ministries. Read more at their website.
  • Saint Paul embraces all LGBT individuals, as noted in its mission statement. This can be candid addresses to inclusion in word and sacrament ministries (preaching, education, RIC events), or it can simply mean that we welcome anyone and everyone as they are—without needing to call attention to their sexuality.
