THE PLEDGE

Taking the Pledge

The Bible teaches Christians to go beyond what is legally required of us and do what is good. As part of doing good, Romans 13:10 declares, ”Love does no wrong to a neighbor...” (NIV). Let taking this pledge be a first step to better loving our LGBTQ neighbors:

Christians are called to love and care for our neighbors, including those who are LGBTQ. Recognizing that conversion therapy and other change efforts bear bad fruit, I will commit to respecting the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health of LGBTQ siblings by refraining from trying to change their sexual orientation or gender identity through my words, deeds, ministries, and policies and I will actively encourage my faith community to do the same.
