ACTING OUT LOUD is a new online resource for faith communities that want to move beyond welcome toward a wider embrace of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and their families. Here, you will find:

• A discussion of the pastoral needs of LGBT congregants
• Ideas and resources to help clergy and congregations better address LGBT concerns, create a welcoming space for LGBT persons and families, and move beyond welcome toward full inclusion of LGBT congregants
• Case studies of inclusive congregations around the country, representing a range of religious traditions

ACTING OUT LOUD is for clergy, lay leaders, seminarians, denomination leaders, religious educators and all who work for sexual health and justice in their faith communities. We hope you will share this resource with your colleagues, and return again and again as new content is added.
