Welcome, AnnMarie.

Marie is one of the names my parents would have given their fourth child if they had had it (no, there wasn't a miscarriage or anything they just couldn't afford to feed and clothe more than three of us :) )

I've always liked that name.

I believe that you will find many opportunities in the UCC to meet good people, and do the kind of work that you want to. If you ever get the chance, visit Minneapolis, we have ALL kinds of LGBT stuff going on in various local UCC churches, including my all-LGBT church, Spirit of the Lakes. See below

Also the Institute for Welcoming Resources, which is the religious branch of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.
