GLBT Inclusion

St. Stephen’s is a safe place where all persons are valued for their full dignity and worth. All of God’s children are welcome at St. Stephen’s. We,living fully into our Baptismal Covenant,“strive for justice and peace among all people,and respect the dignity of every human being.”(The Book of Common Prayer,p. 305).

 

St. Stephen’s was one of the first parishes in the Episcopal Diocese of North Dakota to fully welcome Gay,Lesbian,Bisexual and Transgendered persons. We have a long and dignified tradition of welcome.

St. Stephen’s is a partner congregation of Integrity (www.IntegrityUSA.org),  a group of Episcopalians whose mission is “to be the witness of the lesbian and gay community in the Episcopal Church and of the Episcopal Church in the lesbian and gay community.”
