Coming Up
SFNYC In 2009 General Meetng
January 6 -- 8:00 PM
LGBT CENTER 208 W. 13th Street
In December we made headway into what our plans for early 2009 will be. Come to contine devolping those or to get involved for the first time.
Reach Out
If you feel silenced, marginalized, or oppressed in your religious, academic, work, or civil environment, please reach out to Soulforce NYC. We exist to counter anti-gay and anti-trans forces in the city fueled by religious misunderstanding and rhetoric and we want to help; by meeting with you, by preparing you to address the injustice, by getting your story out, by standing with you, or even just by listening.
All communication is sensitive and private.
SFNYC Takes Religion Seriously
Soulforce NYC desires reconciliation between anti-gay & anti-transgender religious traditions and the people who have been alienated from those traditions. Recognizing that religious rhetoric permeates the discussions surrounding acceptance of LGBT individuals as full members of both faith and civic communities, it becomes clear that this conversation is overdue. Change will come through productive dialogue, rather than angry debate.
We are creating positive change in New York City and we want you to join us.
Spiritual violence, the abuse of faith, against gay and transgender people affects us all. What begins as a sermon from the pulpit ends as a law on the books or hurtful thoughts put into tragic action. This conversation is necessary even when it is uncomfortable; when dialoge breaks down, bold action is required.
It all begins with you. SFNYC creates space for new ideas and leaders to form and emerge and we want you to be one of those new leaders! Visit our Get Involved page
