Who We Are |
|
|
| |
Members of the Association of Welcoming & Affirming Baptists
(AWAB) are churches, organizations, and individuals who are willing to go on record as welcoming and affirming
all persons without regard to sexual orientation or gender identity, and who have joined together to advocate for the full inclusion
of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons within Baptist communities of faith.
Our unique makeup helps make AWAB The National Voice for
LGBT Baptists. |

Vision Statement of the Association of Welcoming &
Affirming Baptists |
|
|
|
| |
We envision that the day may speedily come within Baptist
Churches when no one shall feel excluded from God's love in Jesus Christ because of their sexual orientation
and gender identity. |

Please
help support the ongoing
voice of inclusion by
making a one time donation or by becoming a
member of the Judson Society and donating
monthly. |
A

but you may also join as an individual or

Perhaps you are a leader
(lay or ordained) in a congregation which is considering
becoming welcoming to lesbian, gay, bisexual or
transgendered (lgbt) persons. Perhaps you are committed
deeply to helping other congregations in your
denomination become more welcoming of lgbt folks. Either
scenario means that this training will be very helpful
to you in honing your skills and gaining more knowledge
about how to help congregations through those tough
conversations toward a more fully inclusive church. |
