Highlights from Clergy Call 2009
HRC’s Religion and Faith Program is deeply grateful to all those who participated in our 2009 Clergy Call for Justice and Equality. The two-day event - including a plenary conference, an interfaith celebration, a press conference, and hundreds of clergy meetings with their members of Congress - showed our strength as a growing faith-based movement speaking out for LGBT justice. We know coming to Washington, D.C. was a sacrifice for many. Not only did clergy travel long distances and rearrange complex schedules, but many also weathered serious financial difficulties to be with us. As religious leaders, they knew our nation's legislators needed to hear faith voices speaking out for the protections afforded by the Mathew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act and the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. To all who attended Clergy Call 2009, we extend our sincere thanks for your spirit, your faith, and your stalwart advocacy for justice.
