A community for members, seekers, and friends of the Episcopal Church and wider Anglican Communion.

About

This is a space to discuss Episcopal/Anglican theology, liturgy, church life, and spirituality. Whether you're a lifelong Episcopalian, exploring the tradition, or simply curious, all respectful participants are welcome.

Community Guidelines

  1. Be Respectful - Treat all members with courtesy and grace, even in disagreement. Remember we're a broad church with diverse theological perspectives.

  2. Stay On Topic - Keep posts related to Episcopalianism, Anglicanism, liturgy, theology, church news, and related spiritual matters.

  3. No Hate Speech - Discrimination, bigotry, or attacks based on race, gender, sexuality, nationality, or other identities will not be tolerated.

  4. Assume Good Faith - Approach discussions charitably. We're here to learn from one another.

  5. No Proselytizing - While interfaith dialogue is welcome, aggressive attempts to convert members to other traditions are not appropriate.

  6. Mark Sensitive Content - Use NSFW tags for potentially triggering discussions (trauma, abuse, etc.)

"Dear beloved Episcopalians,

The Episcopal Church invites you to participate in an important survey about LGBTQ+ inclusion and experience in our Church.

Since 1976, when General Convention affirmed that “homosexual persons are children of God who have a full and equal claim with all other persons upon the love, acceptance, and pastoral concern and care of the Church,” the Episcopal Church has expanded full access to ordination, marriage, and leadership for LGBTQ+ members. However, the reception of these commitments varies widely.

In 2022, the 80th General Convention established the Task Force on LGBTQ+ Inclusion to conduct a churchwide audit. This survey seeks to hear from all members, both LGBTQ+ and non-LGBTQ+, about your experiences with pastoral care, sacramental access, representation in leadership, and institutional accountability.

The survey takes 15-20 minutes. You may skip any question. All responses are confidential and will only be used in aggregate. We’re partnering with the Hartford Institute for Religion Research for data collection and analysis. You and your congregation will never be identified. To complete the survey in Español or Français, please use the dropdown menu at the top right of this page.

The Task Force will share its report to the 82nd General Convention in 2027. Your participation will directly inform our work and recommendations.

Questions? Email: gc.support@episcopalchurch.org

Thank you for helping us build a Church where all of God's beloved children are truly welcomed, affirmed, and celebrated.

Faithfully, The Episcopal Church Task Force on LGBTQ+ Inclusion."

The Episcopal Church is currently running a churchwide survey on LGBTQ+ inclusion experiences, and they want to hear from all members — both LGBTQ+ and non-LGBTQ+.

The survey covers pastoral care, sacramental access, representation in leadership, and institutional accountability. It takes about 15–20 minutes, all responses are confidential and aggregated, and the results will inform the Task Force's report to the 82nd General Convention in 2027.

⚠️ Deadline: March 15, 2026

The survey is available in English, Español, and Français. Data collection is being handled by the Hartford Institute for Religion Research.
