About Us

Statement of Purpose

Integrity/Northern Ohio is a charitable, religious, educational and literary not-for-profit organization for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) ministry in the Episcopal Church.

We are a ministry for the encouragement and nurture of GLBT persons in Christian life and community. We are equally a ministry of persons offered to the Church and to the world seeking unity and peace in the Body of Christ, justice and dignity for all persons, regardless of their likeness to or difference from ourselves, the end to human oppression, especially the oppression of people because of sexual orientation, and the building of a world and a society which are each safer places in which to love. We proclaim the good news that the world and all people in it have been redeemed by Jesus Christ.

We believe that GLBT people can express their sexuality in a manner that is consistent with Christ's teaching. We believe that all sexuality should be exercised in an ethically responsible and unselfish way.
