| Who We Are: Gay Christians |
As gay Christians, we sometimes wrestle with issues surrounding our sexuality. Some faith communities may even shun us because we are different sexually from the majority. ECWR encourages gay Christians to embrace their God-given sexual orientation and to live lives that are fully out and fully affirmed in Christ. |


EVANGELICALS is our first name. It's been our first name since Evangelicals Concerned was founded in 1975. But just as nobody should naively buy into whatever might be presented in the anti-gay or pro-gay press about "the gay agenda", "the gay lifestyle" or everything that passes in a Pride Parade, nobody should naively buy into whatever might be presented in the anti-gay or pro-gay press about evangelicals.
Evangelicals Concerned (EC, Inc.) is one of the many new Christian groups and churches which has emerged since the advent of the gay liberation movement. While both minister primarily to gays and lesbians, there are some significant differences between the two types of organizations.
