CHRISTENDOM Series: Gay (Affirming) Denominations


GAY & Affirming
(Other)


And don’t forget Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns,
which were filled with immorality and every kind of sexual perversion.
Those cities were destroyed by fire and serve as a warning...
Jude 1:7NLT




Non-Gay churches who allow congregations to openly welcome LGBT are designated as Affirming Congregations.


Openly Gay Denominations:
Metropolitan Community Church - 1968, openly gay national church. Very theologically liberal & their structure resembles mainline Protestants.
 Unity Fellowship Church Movement - 1982, for the black openly LGBT
community.
Association of Welcoming and Affirming Baptists - 1993, formed by gay Baptists aligned mostly with the more liberal American Baptist Church.
Global Alliance of Affirming Apostolic Pentecostals - 2007, founded for gay Oneness Pentecostals.
Affirming Pentecostal Church International - 2010, founded in Indianapolis, Indiana. Split off from the Global Alliance of Affirming Apostolic Pentecostals over ethical concerns.
