LGBTQIA Welcoming and Affirming

Welcoming and Affirming Community

At Kansas City Quakers, we take pride in being a welcoming and affirming community for all, including those who identify as LGBTQIA. Our commitment to inclusivity and acceptance is a core value that has long defined the Quaker tradition.

The Importance of Open Communities

In today’s world, creating spaces where everyone feels valued and respected is more crucial than ever. Open and affirming communities provide a sanctuary where individuals can live authentically and be celebrated for who they are. These spaces foster a sense of belonging and promote social justice, ensuring that diversity is not just acknowledged but embraced.

Quakers’ Long History of Inclusivity

The Quaker faith has a rich history of standing on the side of equality and justice. From early movements for gender equality to advocacy for the rights of marginalized communities, Quakers have consistently worked to challenge societal norms and promote acceptance. Our commitment to being an open and affirming community is a continuation of this longstanding tradition of inclusivity.

At Kansas City Quakers, we are dedicated to building a community where everyone feels welcome and respected, and we invite all to join us in this mission.
