Believe Out Loud Workshops
Integrity trainers are holding workshops all over the nation during 2013! Participants will learn to speak to people in their church or diocese about why it's important to welcome and include LGBT people in the lives of church communities. Participants will be given tools to engage in meaningful conversations about their inclusive beliefs, and they will be introduced to the process for a parish to become a Believe Out Loud Congregation.

Map of Diocesan Blessings Policies Released!
After years of work by Integrity USA and its allies, The Episcopal Church approved a Rite for the Blessing of a Same-Sex Relationship at the 2012 General Convention. The Rite is now available in a final format - click here for just the rite, or click here to buy a full book with the Rite and the other liturgical resources.
Integrity has now released a map showing current diocesan policies for the use of the rite - click here to see the map - and let us know if you have updated information - it changes constantly!
