There’s a give and take between our nation’s laws and our communities’ religious beliefs in the long struggle for LGBT equality. Over the last several years many religious denominations have been moved to change their policies on same-sex marriage and LGBT inclusion in religious leadership – sometimes faster than the rate of secular change, sometimes slower.

We’ll hear from Matt Berryman, Executive Director of Reconciling Ministries.
