Spiritual Affirmation
Where to livestream your worship this weekend: LGBTQIA-affirming churches, mosques and synagogues offering online services
As we all adjust to new routines in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, Believe Out Loud is committed to finding ways for our community to continue to be connected to affirming spiritual resources.
Houses of worship have transitioned to online-only or hybrid prayer, services, and gatherings. We have gathered below links to free livestream, video, or podcast worship resources from LGBTQIA-affirming organizations.
Note: This post will continue to be updated as we gather more resources. If you have an LGBTQIA affirming spiritual community to add to this list, please write to us at believeoutloudteam@gmail.com!
