Materials and Resources

These resources are available from AWAB partners.

     
  Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies in Religion and the Ministry
    The Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies in Religion and Ministry (CLGS) at Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, California. Their website seeks to provide reliable and up-to-date information and resources on LGBTQ issues and religion. They have recently started a Marriage Project with LGBT and historical marriage information.
  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.
  Rainbow Baptists
    Rainbow Baptists is an ongoing outreach ministry of AWAB. The site contains numerous links to resources for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning people. There are also specific areas for youth and families of LGBTQ people.
