Pride 2025!

Pride 2025!

Leading into Pride Month, Moderator Carmen Lansdowne shares a powerful message of welcome and affirmation, emphasizing that there's truly a place at the table for everyone within The United Church of Canada. As we prepare to celebrate the diversity and resilience of the 2S and LGBTQIA+ community throughout June, Moderator Lansdowne honours the humanity, value, and right to love of 2S and LGBTQIA+ people, while acknowledging the severe global realities and attacks now being faced. This message connects with our "A Place at the Table" campaign, reflecting the deep sense of belonging found within the church.

The United Church of Canada stands in solidarity, committed to justice, radical love, and creating a world where absolutely everyone is embraced and celebrated.
