A compiled reference page on Unity's stance on LGBTQ issues. States Unity issued a formal Statement of Diversity in 1995 affirming that its ministries and outreaches must be free of discrimination on the basis of race, colour, gender, age, creed, religion, national origin, ethnicity, physical disability or sexual orientation. States that while Unity takes no official position on social issues generally, individual Unity churches and ministers are free to perform same-sex marriage and holy union ceremonies where legally permissible, including at Unity Village, the movement's headquarters. States Unity accepts and welcomes LGBTQ plus ministers, licensed Unity teachers, and candidates for both on equal terms, and that in 2011 Unity launched an LGBTQ plus Spiritual Resource Center providing articles, podcasts, prayer support and a list of affirming Unity churches and centers.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier2
An advocacy organisation's compiled reference page, used because the movement's own site returns forbidden to an ordinary reader; the page names and dates the 1995 Statement of Diversity and the 2011 resource center launch it draws on rather than asserting the position unattributed. NotesCited for Unity's sexuality-position and its detail.
