The UCC Coalition for LGBT Concerns marks the 25th anniversary of the adoption of the Open and Affirming resolution by General Synod which launched the ONA movement in the United Church of Christ. It is a time of celebration and transition as Interim Executive Director of the Coalition Gwen Thomas shares, “This past year of transition has put us in the perfect position to reinvent ourselves based on what we know about our strengths and challenges. We have an opportunity to create a new vision to shape and form and share with the world, just as our founders did before us.
