Local Churches and Organizations to Rally in
Support of Gay and Lesbian Rights on National
Coming Out Day
Omaha, NE –A community of support from many organizations and faith
communities will gather for dialogue and learning, reflection and celebration
durning a 7:00 pm rally on Oct. 11 at First United Methodist Church Omaha, 7020
Cass St. A resource fair will begin at 5:30 in Cary Hall.
Among the speakers will be pastors and leaders from across Omaha and Mr. Jimmy
Creech, former Senior Pastor of First United Methodist Church. Mr. Creech, whose
orders were removed in a church trial, will invite all people to consider coming out
as a community of support and end religious based bigotry.
Rev. Debra McKnight says, “We are celebrating the community of support and
providing space for the diversity of Omaha organization to be in conversation with
one another.” The Heartland Clergy for Inclusion hope people who want to come
out, people who struggle, people who question and people who want to learn more
about being a supportive ally will come out on October 11th.
