Who is Welcome?

Our church bylaws state:

"This congregation affirms and promotes the full participation of all persons in all our activities and endeavors without regard to race, color, gender, physical or mental challenge, affectional or sexual orientation, age, class, or national origin. We also affirm the practice of affirmative action and the principle of comparable worth to remedy the results of historical discrimination."

In 2001 the Rochester congregation held a series of workshops based on the UUA material and received certification from the UUA as a Welcoming Congregation.
