The Parents Reconciling Network

The Parents Reconciling Network (PRN) invites United Methodist parents, family members and friends of the LGBT community out of their church "closets"--
to join with us in supporting each other
and our special families.

We have informational pamphlets, organizational outlines, other parents whom you can contact, and a national staff for assistance, and have both national and regional E-mail communication networks where you can receive regular information
and encouragement.

For more information on the Parents Reconciling Network, contact Larry Fox, Western Jurisdiction Co-coordinator for PRN, 360-331-1950 or email him at larryleefox@yahoo.com.

Below are a few calls for action, as well as links to UM missions worldwide. Who benefits? That's up to each of us... but congregations like Ravenna help define those needs and give us ways to make a difference.

to serve. You don't even have to make your subject and your verb agree... You only need a heart full of grace...a soul generated by love." —Martin Luther King, Jr.
