Clergy Call for Justice & Equality

In its second year, the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Religion and Faith Program continued to assert a pro-GLBT perspective in faith-based dialogues and places of worship across the country.

In April 2007, the project gathered more than 230 religious leaders across the country and from every faith tradition on Capitol Hill for a hugely successful Clergy Call for Justice and Equality. Participants spoke in favor of the Matthew Shepard Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act and the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, and, in collars, robes and stoles, visited lawmakers’ offices to reveal another side of the religious debate about GLBT equality.

Siant Mark's Rev. Phillip Thomason participated in this 2007 Clergy Call for Justice & Equiality. Another Clergy Call is planned for May 2009.
