The final day of Clergy Call in Washington, D.C. was fantastic. We did the press conference with the Capitol as backdrop. It was an amazing experience to be on the podium with Tony Campolo and hear his public profession of support for LGBT people. We spent the afternoon lobbying with our representatives---Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson and Rep. Pete Sessions for my state, Texas. HRC and the Equality Forum hosted a reception at HRC for everyone involved and also provided rooms for UCC/United Church of Christ, MCC and two other groups in attendance to have some time together. I stayed for the first part of this gathering as people shared their experiences from Clergy Call. HRC Director of Faith & Religion, Harry Knox, Sharon Groves and their team did a fantastic job of organizing this event.
Blessings,
