A program for Lutheran communities of faith to answer the inclusive call of the gospel by welcoming gay and lesbian believers. And Jesus said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. The Reconciled in Christ roster has grown at an accelerated pace in recent years, since exceeding 100 Lutheran congregations in the U.S. and Canada.

The Reconciling in Christ program doesn't seek special treatment for gay or lesbian people. The reality is, however, that we live in a time where the voices of fear and ignorance dominate the public discussion on human sexuality issues in our society. Most often these judgmental voices of irrational fear are all that is heard. Lutherans Concerned continues to learn of Lutheran churches that shun gay and lesbian people. Sometimes their parents and family are even vilified and attacked by church members.
