Gathering of Baptists | |

Institute for Welcoming Resources | |
| Denominational representatives of the Welcoming Church Movement created IWR in November 2002. The purpose of this ecumenical group is to provide the resources to facilitate a paradigm shift in multiple denominations whereby churches become welcoming and affirming of all congregants regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity. IWR wants to help build church homes that are truly welcoming and nurturing, where everyone knows “they're okay, just like they are.” In early 2006, IWR became a program of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, through a formal merger. | ||

Lesbian, Gay Bisexual Religious Archive Network | |
| The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Religious Archives Network (LGBTRAN) is a ground-breaking new venture by the Chicago Theological Seminary. It's a resource center to assist LGBT religious groups and leaders in preparing their records for archival preservation; and an information clearinghouse to provide information on the location of LGBT religious collections for scholars, students and other interested persons. | ||
| Roger Williams Fellowship | ||
| The Roger Williams Fellowship was founded in 1935 out of a need for a forum within the Northern Baptist Convention (at that time) where a variety of social and faith issues could be discussed with respect for diverse theological perspectives. The Fellowship welcomes laity and clergy of diverse backgrounds and perspectives who seek to discuss, study, and struggle with questions of conscience. The context of our mutual discernment is the exercise and pursuit of religious freedom. | ||
