History:

At its Annual Congregational Meeting held on January 20, 2002, the members of the Church approved a resolution to become a Welcoming Congregation. The Declaration, approved by an overwhelming 97% affirmative vote, was the culmination of a year-long process of workshops and information prepared and presented by the Welcoming Congregation Committee. The Church voted unanimously to amend the By-laws to reflect this decision, and the UUA was notified of the Declaration. See the Declaration and By-law changes below.

The Welcoming Congregation Committee continues the work that culminated with the congregation's declaration that it is a Welcoming Congregation, welcoming to all, especially to those who are bisexual, gay, lesbian or transgender (BGLT). The Committee supports BGLT activities in the Church and the wider community, and presents an annual program to the Church.
