About Us
We are the Unity Fellowship Church Movement (“UFCM”), a movement of churches across the United States whose primary work is to proclaim the sacredness of all life, focusing on empowering those who have been oppressed and made to feel excluded and ashamed. UFCM brings the message of God’s unconditional love and the principles of liberation theology to often ostracized communities. UFCM opens its doors to all of God’s people, especially those fighting for social justice. The churches within our movement offer those seeking to worship God, in spirit and truth, a place to come just as they are.

What We Believe
God is Love and Love is for Everyone. It is impossible to love each other without a sense of mutual (equal) worth and respect for each other.
Romans 13:10- Love worketh no ill to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
1st John 4:20- It is impossible to love God, whom we’ve never seen and hate our brothers and sisters whom we see every day.
God is neither male nor female; God is spirit and spirit has no gender.
Liberation Theology for all, a theology that frees the oppressed, therefore is:
◾-not a male dominated hierarchy
◾-not oppressive to women
◾-not just European in scope, and must relate to people of color and their various cultures around the world
◾-not oppressive to Lesbian, Gay, Transgender, and Bisexual people, and allows us to think and discern through human reason and experience
◾-not oppressive to Native Americans or their spirituality or any other oppressive use of scripture
We believe in the teachings of Jesus but we do not dismiss all of the other beliefs as wrong or second to our way of believing.
God is greater than any religion, denomination or school of thought.
God is spirit, alive and at work in the Moslem Mosque, the Jewish Synagogue, the Christian Church and the Tribal Ritual. God is everywhere present.
We believe the Bible and all great spiritual writings or guides must be read taking into consideration the time of their writing, the traditions practiced at that time and the fact that we have the right to question and examine and all interpretation.
A person’s belief system:
◾-must be supportive of healthy self-acceptance
◾-must support spiritual growth
◾-must encourage physical, emotional, and mental help
◾Enlightenment and revelation are continuous and did not stop with the Bible writers.

History of UFCM
Unity Fellowship Church, Los Angeles (UFCLA) was founded in 1982 by Reverend Carl Bean for openly gay and lesbian African Americans. The first meetings were held in the private residence of Rev. Bean, on Cochran Avenue in Los Angeles. In 1984, a reorganization took place in the last residence of the late Archbishop William Morris O’Neill, located on South Burnside Avenue (also the ordination site of our founder). Weekly Bible studies then moved to the home of Deacon Christine Tripp. UFCLA received its nonprofit status in 1985. The first UFCLA public worship service was at the Cockatoo Inn on Hawthorne Blvd in Inglewood. It was then decided by the membership to move the worship service to a more central location, so that it would be more accessible to those on public transportation. The new location was the Ebony Showcase Theatre on Washington Boulevard , which was an integral part of the culture of the black community. Public worship continued at the Ebony Showcase Theater until 1988. It was then that Unity Fellowship Church purchased its first property, and moved to West Jefferson Boulevard.
The Unity Fellowship Church Movement (UFCM) was registered in 1990 as a nonpartisan nonprofit organization, headquartered at the Jefferson Boulevard site. Presently, the UFCM network is far reaching with various national departments, urban outreach ministries, the national mass choir, periodicals and constituency-based programs nationwide.

Black Southern Pastors Call for LGBT Justice in Video Campaign
Straight clergy challenge scripture & stereotypes; send powerful message to church and community
WASHINGTON, DC — October 7, 2014 — Today, Many Voices, a Black church movement for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) justice, launches a series of unprecedented videos that feature LGBT-affirming African American clergy from the South. Video subjects include Rev. Dr. Rodney Sadler, Associate Professor of Bible, Union Presbyterian Seminary at Charlotte; Rev. Reggie Longcrier, Executive Director of prison ministry Exodus Missionary Outreach Church; and Rev. Dr. Terence Leathers, Pastor, Mount Vernon Christian Church.
“All people are worthy of God’s love,” says Rev. Sadler. “In essence, sex is at the core of the biblical message. Our fear of sexuality is inconsistent with the biblical text. Our job is not to keep people away…our job is to be open in our welcome.”
Each interview captures experiences from ally voices of faith that undermine the misconception that Black pastors are monolithically homophobic. The videos also illuminate how African Americans can be both religious and supportive of LGBT people, and that being LGBT-affirming can be consistent with one’s faith.
“Each pastor partaking in this powerful platform talks from a place of religious grounding, and their understanding of scripture harmoniously informs their understanding of LGBT acceptance,” says Rev. Cedric A. Harmon, Co-Director for Many Voices. “Our allies are deeply important to this work because they remind us that at the heart of the movement for LGBT justice is the fight for everyone in God’s family to live safely and authentically.”
All interviewees are based in North Carolina, a state with a substantial Black LGBT presence and strong ties to the Church. With over 40 percent of Black Protestants supporting the freedom to marry, the testimonies are representative of a growing number of justice-seeking pastors across the country. In addition to sharing the videos through social media and community collaborators, Many Voices offers training, resources, and relationship-building opportunities for church leaders and Black LGBT people. The video release is part of an ongoing campaign that launched in 2013.
The Many Voices Visibility Campaign was funded in part by the Arcus Foundation, Evelyn & Walter Haas, Jr. Foundation, and the E. Rhodes & Leona B. Carpenter Foundation, and was created by Katina Parker, a filmmaker and PR specialist. The music was performed by Rachael Derello, Monica Douthit and Meredeth Summers Moore, and recorded by Sammy Truong and Katina Parker.

WASHINGTON, DC — October 7, 2014 — Today, Many Voices, a Black church movement for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) justice, launches a series of unprecedented videos that feature LGBT-affirming African American clergy from the South. Video subjects include Rev. Dr. Rodney Sadler, Associate Professor of Bible, Union Presbyterian Seminary at Charlotte; Rev. Reggie Longcrier, Executive Director of prison ministry Exodus Missionary Outreach Church; and Rev. Dr. Terence Leathers, Pastor, Mount Vernon Christian Church.
“All people are worthy of God’s love,” says Rev. Sadler. “In essence, sex is at the core of the biblical message. Our fear of sexuality is inconsistent with the biblical text. Our job is not to keep people away…our job is to be open in our welcome.”
Each interview captures experiences from ally voices of faith that undermine the misconception that Black pastors are monolithically homophobic. The videos also illuminate how African Americans can be both religious and supportive of LGBT people, and that being LGBT-affirming can be consistent with one’s faith.
“Each pastor partaking in this powerful platform talks from a place of religious grounding, and their understanding of scripture harmoniously informs their understanding of LGBT acceptance,” says Rev. Cedric A. Harmon, Co-Director for Many Voices. “Our allies are deeply important to this work because they remind us that at the heart of the movement for LGBT justice is the fight for everyone in God’s family to live safely and authentically.”
All interviewees are based in North Carolina, a state with a substantial Black LGBT presence and strong ties to the Church. With over 40 percent of Black Protestants supporting the freedom to marry, the testimonies are representative of a growing number of justice-seeking pastors across the country. In addition to sharing the videos through social media and community collaborators, Many Voices offers training, resources, and relationship-building opportunities for church leaders and Black LGBT people. The video release is part of an ongoing campaign that launched in 2013.
The Many Voices Visibility Campaign was funded in part by the Arcus Foundation, Evelyn & Walter Haas, Jr. Foundation, and the E. Rhodes & Leona B. Carpenter Foundation, and was created by Katina Parker, a filmmaker and PR specialist. The music was performed by Rachael Derello, Monica Douthit and Meredeth Summers Moore, and recorded by Sammy Truong and Katina Parker.

Organizational background
History: Founded in 2010
Many Voices was founded in 2010 to offer an online resource center for the many Christians—particularly people of color—who were not being served by the LGBT-focused programs within the mainline Protestant denominations.
In 2011, after an extensive strategic planning process, we narrowed our focus to organize specifically from within the Black Church.
In 2012, we incorporated in the District of Columbia, obtained IRS 501(c)(3) status, set up an independent board, and created a solid infrastructure.
All along, Many Voices’ work has been led by two co-directors and blessed with the pro bono contributions of several experts including Pamela Wilson and Wayne Pawlowski, internationally recognized trainers in sexuality and gender education; Rev. Dr. Ronald Hopson, a Howard University professor who specializes in sexuality and the Black Church; and Mr. Sterling Tucker, a veteran civil rights organizer and nonprofit consultant.
Accomplishments: 2012-2013
Many Voices
•Compiled a rich and growing resource center that includes worship tools, thoughtful articles by leading thinkers in the Black church, age appropriate educational tools for children and adults about sexual orientation and gender diversity, and much more.
•Educated more than four hundred Black pastors and lay leaders at seminars and panels exploring sexuality, gender, and theology—preparing them for thoughtful dialogue about sexuality and LGBT justice within their congregations and among their peers.
•Launched a powerful video series featuring the personal stories of six African American lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) North Carolinians who came of age in Black churches. Earlier videos featured prominent straight-identified pastors, including Bishop Carlton Pearson, Rev. Dr. Louis Shockley, and Rev. Dr. Jeffrey Haggray. In addition to expanding Many Voices’ reach through an intensive PR/marketing campaign, the videos are used as teaching tools in seminars with religious leaders and congregations.
•Calmed down the rhetoric during the lead-up to Maryland ‘s ballot referendum on marriage in response to vitriolic speech from some Black pulpits—such as Rev. Anderson’s reference to“these things [homosexuality] that are worthy of death “
•Our fairness pledge,” which was circulated by several state-wide and national advocacy organizations, invited Black clergy in Maryland—regardless of their views or stand on marriage—to stand back from divisive, hurtful statements and enter into loving, respectful dialogue that honored the dignity of all persons. Circulating it made a huge difference in calming down the rhetoric in the days and weeks leading up to the marriage equality referendum, allowing people to vote thoughtfully, mindful of their gay and lesbian families and friends.
•Provided key leadership in the NoWedge2012 national campaign with the Fellowship of Affirming Ministries, National Black Justice Coalition, Southern Poverty Law Center, Metropolitan Community Churches, and the NAACP to combat the anti-gay National Organization for Marriage’s stated strategy to drive a wedge between the same-gender-loving community and the Black church.

Core values
Beloved community
We aim to build a beloved community of people who seek God’s justice, a community where those who are different are never shunned or pushed away. When our welcome extends to everyone, we celebrate and appreciate the wonder of God’s creation.
God’s gift of sexuality & gender
Each of us has a unique way of understanding and expressing our sexual orientation and gender. We affirm the responsible use of these God-given gifts in ways that reflect the beauty of true connection.
Equality & full participation
Knowing in our hearts that everyone is loved by God and made in God’s image, we affirm that we’re related to all of creation and that no one is better than anyone else. Each of us has gifts and graces that can enrich any congregation that truly affirms and welcomes all who take part.
Courage
Having the courage to break the silence is about being open to authenticity—being willing to listen, to be honest, to be vulnerable, to speak lovingly, to seek justice, and to extend hospitality. We believe that respectfully challenging one another can lead to meaningful dialogue and draw us into beloved community.
Integrity
For us, integrity is a commitment to act and speak from wholeness and honesty. We strive to embody God’s unconditional love, to have high ethical standards, and to be trustworthy in all of our interactions with people.
Servant leadership
Creating space to encourage, inspire, and support others in opening dialogue in their churches is Many Voices’ joyful gift to the community. We don’t own the conversation or the work. Our mission is to build relationships that empower and nurture possibilities for wider welcome and wholeness.
