The Episcopal Church has made commitments to inclusivity and affirmation of its LGBTQ+ members, but there is much still to be done to actively live out that promise. This information sheet is designed to be a resource for youth workers seeking to build a radically welcoming community and to work in alliance with LGBTQ+ young people in their ministry.

For more resources around welcoming LGBTQ+ young people in your faith community, we highly recommend the resources put out by the Center for LGBTQ Studies in Religion, particularly their Transgender Curriculum for Faith Communities and Restrooms Available for All!
