    Full & Equal Conference

    Thurs - Sat
    location_on Minneapolis, MN access_time 11:30AM - 12:15PM
    Episcopalians Invited to Commemorate 50 Years of 'Full and Equal Claim' for LGBTQ+ People
    September 3-5
    Sheraton Downtown Minneapolis Convention Center and St Mark's Cathedral

    At the 65th General Convention in 1976 in Minneapolis, The Episcopal Church adopted a resolution affirming that homosexual people are children of God with a full and equal claim upon the church's love, acceptance, and pastoral concern and care.

    Fifty years later, Episcopalians are invited to return to Minneapolis for "Full & Equal: 50 Years in Pursuit of a Promise," a gathering marking that milestone and reflecting on the church's ongoing journey towards LGBTQ+ inclusion.

    Register here for the event, which will include worship, workshops, and storytelling celebrating the progress of the last 50 years while renewing the church's commitment to the work that remains.

    Building Use Calendar

    Grace is filled with activity most days of the week, not just on Sundays. Our building is an important community asset. Our building is home to Sunshine Montessori School and many other community groups, including exercise groups, music ensembles, twelve-step programs, and theater/art collectives. Use the label (or icon) in the top right corner to change the view from MONTH, WEEK, or SCHEDULE. Schedule view works best for phones.
