State of Religion

The primary source of spiritual violence and misinformation against gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) individuals comes from religious leaders and institutions who adhere to a rigid theology and misguided teachings used to condemn and shame non-heterosexuals.

It is the mission of Soulforce to work to end spiritual violence perpetuated by these anti-gay religious policies and teachings. To this end, we have developed denominational teams for the religious institutions below, that are made up of people within each denomination.

It is our hope that by learning about these policies, dialoguing with denominational leaders, and taking action, we can help cut off the suffering at its source. We can no longer sit idly while the majority of churches continue to demean, degrade, and discriminate against us. We can no longer be complicit in our own oppression.
