| | Here's a list of LGBT friendly Episcopal churches in the Bay Area. The ones with an asterisk support Oasis California programs and projects actively and are our "Covenant Congregations." Congregations without an asterisk are LGBT welcoming churches that have asked to be listed here. You and your family will be welcome and feel at home in these congregations. Many other Episcopal churches also welcome LGBT folks
but are not listed here - for a full list of Episcopal parishes in the Diocese of California please visit
the
Directory of Congregations at diocal.org. | East Bay Marin County | Peninsula San Francisco | Send us an e-mail if you want to talk with us for help finding a welcoming church near you. | Once again: Oasis Covenant Congregations (designated above with an asterisk) have completed an intentional process of reflection and education, signed a public affirmation of commitment to glbt people, participate in programs and actions that advance and fulfill the mission of Oasis/California, and typically provide financial support for Oasis/California's ministry. LGBT-Friendly Congregations are other congregations in the Episcopal Diocese of California that have self-identified as glbt-friendly. The rectors/vicars of such congregations have asked that their communities of faith be listed as inclusive, welcoming places. |
Visit www.diocal.org to learn more about these congregations.

Thank you to all who have already
signed up to carry petitions to qualify a new initiative to win marriage
back. If you haven’t already,

www.eqca.org/petition. And please forward this call to action on to
everyone you know.
