Among our churches we give thanks for the loving ministry extended by the
Salvation Army. We also celebrate the milestone action of the United Church of
Church in the Philippines, who on its 10th Quadrennial Assembly in 2014
unanimously approved Let Grace Be Total a policy on Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals
and Transgender people. We note too with constructive pride the efforts of the
United Methodist Church to encourage open discussions of LGBT issues in their
congregations.
Under our #PreventionNOTCondemnation campaign, we at NCCP commit to
providing a space for clergy , church workers, and lay people to challenge harmful
gender norms to reverse the negative impact on LGBTs. We will continue to
empower LGBT in our churches and communities in making informed decisions
about HIV. We will ensure to make all relevant facts available to develop their
confidence to make or negotiate healthy choices.
We also discern the need to reclaim and reinterpret our traditions and rituals,
scriptures and practices, to liberate our faith from the shackles of ideologies of
exclusion such as patriarchy, homophobia, and transphobia. We commit to conduct
deeper consultations and education on gender, sex, and sexuality within our churches.
We resolve to work tirelessly for communities of compassion, justice, inclusivity and
acceptance where the divine gift of sexuality will be celebrated in all diverse
manifestations of affirmative love. We are motivated by the command of Jesus:
Love one another.
