UUCPA has been recognized as a Welcoming Congregation for LGBTQ+ UU’s since 1999, and the UUA recently called on UU churches to formally renew our commitment and respond to the evolving needs and concerns of LGBTQ+ people. The UUA issued this call, in part, to ensure that churches like ours provide a welcoming spiritual home for transgender, non-binary, and genderqueer UUs.

Slack and Kapitan’s “Transgender Inclusion in Congregations” course has been praised highly by those congregations that have used it. UUCPA has purchased access to the course as part of our Welcoming Congregation renewal effort. On Sept. 30, you’ll learn how you can keep exploring the course, whether on your own or together with friends or your small group.
