The Naming Project

, , , ,

The Naming Project is a Christian ministry serving youth of all sexual and gender identities. We provide a safe place for youth who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning or allied to learn, grow, and share their experiences. In this way, The Naming Project is a space in which youth can comfortably discuss faith and who they understand themselves to be and how they relate to God and the rest of the world.

The Naming Project is a Christian ministry that walks with youth wherever they are on their own faith journey. Youth from around the country attend our summer camp, and we communicate with youth, parents, pastors, youth workers, and others who care for LGBTQ youth.

Presbytarian Church in Canada

, , , ,

Since the mid-1980s, the church has engaged in study and discussion about sexuality, particularly questions related to same-sex attraction, orientation and relationships. During the 2021 General Assembly, The Presbyterian Church in Canada made changes to its theology and practice regarding marriage, permitting people to define marriage either as a covenant relationship between a man and a woman or as a covenant relationship between two adult people. This decision provides Presbyterian ministers with liberty of conscience and the freedom to choose to officiate or not officiate at the marriages of same-sex couples. LGBTQI people (whether married or single) can be ordained and may serve as ministers and ruling elders in The Presbyterian Church in Canada.

All Inclusive Ministries

, , ,

As our name implies, we seek to be inclusive. But what does that mean? As Pope Francis affirms, inclusion must go beyond the ritual formula of every politically correct discourse and build a culture of respect, compassion and sensitivity. And that is what we try to do. We are a Roman Catholic community of LGBTQ+ and allies aiming to provide equal access to worship, opportunities, and resources within the Church for LGBTQ + faithful who often feel excluded or marginalized.
