| I would like to express my deepest gratitude for your generous scholarship and tickets to the GLAD Banquet. As an Open & Affirming pastor serving a small rural congregation, finding funding to attend events beyond the local community is often difficult. Likewise, finding fellowship that is open and welcoming renews my hope to continue the struggle for justice and equality where it matters most, in the local church. Thank you for your generous gift which allows my beloved and I to share in fellowship and hope where all are welcome to come to the feast. |
