Congregational circles are
composed of all Integrity members in a congregation.
Their primary missions are fellowship, worship, and service to the
parish. [However, education and
advocacy are also appropriate.] Circles meet on a
regular basis at a frequency of their own choosing.
Each circle has a volunteer facilitator or facilitators, chosen by
the circle.
Circles do
not have bank accounts. However,
they may choose to collect and disburse funds through the congregation’s
financial system.
Circles are
encouraged to inform their senior clergy person that they are meeting.
However, official approval of the congregation is not required.
If your congregation currently has a fellowship group for LGBT and
supportive straight folk, national Integrity would be glad to recognize it
has a circle.
To register
your congregational circle with Integrity, please complete the
Congregational
Circle Registration Form.
This information will be posted on Integrity's list of
Congregational Circles. Circle
facilitators will also be added to an e-mail list just for them.
Please
contact your regional
vice president
if you have any questions about congregational circles or need assistance.
