PRIDE PARADE PARTICIPATION Saturday June 20, 2009

Last year, three parishes of our diocese walked in the CNY Gay Pride Parade in Syracuse.

We are hoping a few more parishes may join us this year, sending both gay and straight members to walk behind a banner that simply says “THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH WELCOMES YOU.”

In 2008, each parish group held a large sign with its name and the name of their town.

Is your parish interested? There is an organizational meeting on Thursday May 7 at 7PM at Grace Church, Syracuse, 819 Madison Street.

Any Questions? Contact Pete Williams at (315) 727-8189 or email at peterawill@juno.com

We hope for your participation in this small act of “radical hospitality.”
