LGBTQ News

The ​LGBTQ+ Community at St. Michael's
St. Michael's Church has long made equal rights and full inclusion for LGBTQ+ persons in the community and church a priority. Because of the welcome the parish has extended over the years, many gay, lesbian, bi-, and transgender persons are part of the congregation, and a number of these parishioners are raising children in families with their partners. The parish has blessed committed same-sex covenants for sometime. With the approval by the Episcopal Church in the summer of 2015 of full marriage equality, St. Michael's is now pleased to be able to celebrate the marriages of all persons who come seeking God's blessing of their relationships.

Each year, the parish sponsors a community-wide LGBTQ+ service during Albuquerque Pride Week, and a contingent of parishioners also march in the annual Gay Pride Parade.

We are proud that our former rector, the Rev. Brian C. Taylor, was asked to chair the Episcopal Church's Task Force on the Study of Marriage, which played a key role in the Church's decision. Their report (available here) offers a reading of marriage that grounds this new opportunity in a deeply relational theology. We commend it to your reading and study. ​
