Booted from Catholic Church, Equally Blessed Pilgrimage Will Go On

Last week Call To Action and our Equally Blessed partners learned that we are not allowed to use St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Philadelphia during the upcoming World Meeting of Families. The Pastor told us we were no longer welcome. It is apparent that Archdiocesan leadership, under the direction of Abp. Chaput, are behind the decision to rescind the offer of hospitality. View the complete statement here.

Nonetheless, the pilgrimage goes on! We have been warmly welcomed by the Arch Street United Methodist Church near the convention center and are excited about the opportunity to engage fellow Catholics around LGBT issues at the World Meeting of Families.

Numerous media outlets have reported on this story, visit the Call To Action Media Center to read some of these articles.
