The Inclusive Catholic Church of North America-Iccna

The Inclusive Catholic Church of North America-Iccna We are the Inclusive Catholic Church. We seek to serve the needs of the poor.

We can exist anywhere, but currently are
limited to serving faith communities located in North America through two dioceses,
The Diocese of the Southeastern United States and the Diocese of the Northeastern
United States (The Inclusive Catholic Church in North America). Our Mission is to foster faith communities who welcome people of all races, faith
expressions, gender identities, sexual orientat

ions, ethnicities, and socio-economic
backgrounds who seek Christ. Our attitude is best summed up with these words, “No
matter where you are on your life’s journey, where you’ve been or where you are
going, no matter who you are on your journey with, and no matter how long it has
been, all are welcome at The Lord’s Table.

A word from Opal Lee, ‘Grandmother of Juneteenth,’ who led the way to make the day a federally recognized holiday.

On June 19, 1865, formerly enslaved people in Texas learned that the Emancipation Proclamation had been signed. We set aside this day each year to remember and to recommit ourselves to recognizing and defending the full dignity and freedom of everyone.

God of Liberation,
As we celebrate Juneteenth, may we honor the sacrifice, strength, and resilience embodied in the historical struggles of our dear neighbors. 
 
God of Justice,
As structures of equity continue to be eroded, may we stand in solidarity resisting the interlocking systems of oppression to bring about Your Kingdom on earth.
 
God of Love
As You placed the charism of unifying love upon our hearts, may we share Your love generously so that the world may be transformed and all people may flourish as You intend. Amen.

On May 17, 1990, the World Health Assembly made a historic declaration that changed everything for LGBTQ+ people worldwide. They officially stated that homosexuality is not a disease, a disturbance, or a perversion. This moment marked the end of decades of medical pathologization that had caused immeasurable harm to countless individuals who were told their identity was fundamentally wrong.

What makes this even more striking is how recent this milestone actually was. We're talking about 1990 - not the distant past, but within the lifetime of many people reading this today. The American Psychiatric Association had already made this change in 1973, but it took nearly two more decades for the World Health Organization to follow suit. Think about that timeline: people who are in their 40s today were born into a world where major medical institutions still classified being gay as a mental disorder.

This date reminds us that progress in LGBTQ+ rights is both recent and hard-won. Every step forward represents real people who fought to be seen as human, not sick. While we celebrate how far we've come, dates like May 17, 1990 serve as powerful reminders that the fight for equality and acceptance is still relatively new in the grand scheme of history. The validation that should have always existed had to be officially declared just over three decades ago."
