LGBTQIA

Since the 1990s Tabernacle has been an Open and Affirming and More Light congregation. For more information, read more about Our History in the LGBTQIA movement.

To complement our support as allies of the LGBTQIA community, we’ve aggregated a list of spiritual resources that may be of use to you.

These lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender spiritual resources are compiled and maintained by the Tabernacle united Church community, and are primarily, but not exclusively, Christian, especially progressive Christian and in the United Church of Christ and Presbyterian Church (USA) denominations to which Tabernacle belongs.
