In 1987 the Unitarian Universalist Association
established the Common Vision Planning Committee. This committee
found many negative attitudes, deep prejudices, and profound
ignorance about bisexual, gay, and lesbian people, which resulted
in the exclusion of bisexual, gay, and lesbian people from their
churches. As a result of these findings, the delegates of the
1989 UUA General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to initiate the
Welcoming Congregation program to educate its members. Each
congregation adapts the program to best meet its goals and each
unique situation can bring positive changes to individuals and
congregations. |
