Welcome
Integrity Fort Worth is a chapter of IntegrityUSA. Integrity was
founded in 1974 as an organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual,
and transgender (LGBT) Episcopalians as well as their straight
family members and friends. Integrity Fort Worth works on two
levels in the diocese - support and education. through support
we work to help LGBT people in the church understand Christ's
inclusive love and that all are welcome. We also help support
parents, families and friends as they cope and come to
understand what it means for a loved one to be LGBT. We also
work to educate clergy and laity by sharing our stories and
providing materials as part of our mission to engage in the work
of full inclusion for all baptized members of the church in all
of the sacraments.

Sharing Our Stories:
Parents, Families and Friends Speak Out
On
June 26, Integrity Fort worth will host an event of
sharing as parents, family members and friends talk about their
experiences when a loved one came out to them as gay, lesbian,
bisexual or transgender and how they coped with it. The
meeting will take place from 10 a.m. until noon at St. Luke's in
the Meadow Episcopal Church, 4301 Meadowbrook Drive in Fort
Worth. [learn

Is Your Parish Called?
On
February 6, 2010, Episcopalians from the Diocese of Fort Worth
and Diocese of Dallas met with Integrity's Executive Director,
John Clinton Bradley, along with other Integrity officers and
members, to talk about a new initiative to identify inclusive
congregations in the Episcopal Church. This initiative is for
parishes who want to make a statement that they are welcoming of
gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender persons. These types of
congregations are known in the Episcopal Church as a Believe Out
Loud Parish. Is your parish called to Believe Out Loud? [learn
