Celebrating 7 New More Light Presbyterian Churches!

History has been made in Louisiana! In addition to the historic Super Bowl win by the New Orleans Saints which has brought a major boost of morale to the City of New Orleans in its rebuilding since Katrina, we are pleased to announce and celebrate the first welcoming and affirming More Light Presbyterian Church in the State of Louisiana: First Presbyterian Church, New Orleans.
 
Indiana is not to be outdone by Louisiana, however, in terms of making history, as Saint Andrew Presbyterian Church, Indianapolis is the first Presbyterian congregation to affiliate, minister and witness as a welcoming and affirming More Light Presbyterian Church in the State of Indiana. We do congratulate the Indianapolis Colts' fans, of course, for a fine run to the Super Bowl as well. MLP is not partisan when it comes to football or any sports for that matter. However, we are partisan when it comes to working for spiritual, ordination and marriage equality in both our Church and in civil society.
 
We are pleased to announce and celebrate seven Presbyterian churches in seven different states as they faithfully seek to offer genuine welcome and affirmation to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and their families as they affiliate, minister and witness as More Light Churches in addition to other community mission and social justice commitments.
