Hi, glad you found us! We are Integrity’s Indiana Network for LGBT Episcopalians and friends, with news and views about Jesus, God, prayer, social justice and unity for Gay-friendly folks in the Hoosier State.

Our mission is to help spread some Good News within and outside the churches of the two Indiana dioceses, called Indianapolis and Northern Indiana. Our coordinator, who goes by the screenname Josh Indiana, lives in the northern diocese and worships in the southern one.

The Episcopal Church is a broad denomination with ties to Catholics, Protestants and Eastern Orthodox; everybody’s welcome in this church, including Gene Robinson, the openly-Gay bishop of New Hampshire. You made have seen him on TV or in the movies; he’s an international celebrity, but he was born just down the road in Kentucky. If you were raised Christian but got alienated along the way because of your sexuality, you should check out the Episcopal Church.

Most of our parishes are pretty friendly, welcoming and inclusive, especially in the southern two-thirds of Indiana. Up by Gary, South Bend and Fort Wayne, your mileage may vary. Northern Indiana’s diocese is pretty conservative on gender issues, while the Diocese of Indianapolis has a woman bishop and a long history of inclusiveness.

Individual churches each have their own temperature controls, which is why we need an Integrity Network here. There are welcoming parishes up north and conservative parishes down south, so our goal is to spread the inclusive Word: Jesus loves you unconditionally and gave his life to save yours.

Our Integrity Network ties together the individual members of Integrity Inc. in this state and sponsors three events per year: an educational and networking presence at the two diocesan conventions, and a weekend spiritual retreat specifically for LGBT Christians of any denomination. Politics are one thing, but prayer is another. (In fact, we can’t do one without the other.)
