wThe Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan
Community Churches (UFMCC) plays a vital role in addressing the spiritual
needs of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered community around
the world. For those of us who were raised in a religious atmosphere, homosexuality
was usually associated with shame and guilt. As a result, many of us were
cut off from the spiritual dimension of our lives. Metropolitan Community
Churches provide an opportunity to explore a spiritual experience that
affirms who we are.
wToday, as self-aware and self-affirming
gay men and lesbians, we reclaim the fullness of our humanity, including
our spirituality. We find great truths in the religious tradition, and
we find that our encounter with God is transformational and healing.
wThroughout the twenty-nine year history
of the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches, thousands
of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, and heterosexual people have
found hope, and have lived the joy, reverence, and excitement of our fellowship
and faith in God. We have seen how people have been changed by this experience.
Quite simply, we make a difference in people's lives.
wThousands of individuals have experienced
emotional healing and reconciliation from abuse and oppression, and countless
members and friends credit their involvement in the Fellowship and its
congregations with saving their lives. We experience our communities of
faith as places of healing and hope, places of reconciliation with family,
with self-esteem, and with individual spirituality.
