Milestones in LGBTQ+ Inclusion in The Episcopal Church

• 1974: Louie Crew founded IntegrityUSA, a nonprofit advocating for full inclusion of LGBTQ+ individuals in the Episcopal Church.

• 1976: The General Convention passed resolutions affirming that LGBTQ+ people are children of God deserving love, acceptance, and pastoral care, entitled to equal protection under the law.

• 1988: In response to the AIDS crisis, the National Episcopal AIDS Coalition was established to support HIV/AIDS ministries across the church.

• 1994: Church canons were amended to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation, ensuring equal access to rites and ordination.

• 2003: The Diocese of New Hampshire elected the Rt. Rev. V. Gene Robinson as the first openly gay bishop in The Episcopal Church.

• 2009: The General Convention affirmed same-sex couples in the life of the church. TransEpiscopal sent its first delegation to the convention, advocating for transgender and nonbinary inclusion.

• 2012: Church canons were amended to prohibit discrimination in the ordination process based on gender identity and expression. A liturgy for blessing same-sex relationships was also recommended.

• 2015: Following the Supreme Court’s decision legalizing same-sex marriage, the General Convention amended marriage canons to allow any couple the rite of Holy Matrimony."

✨ Introduction Friday ✨

Meet Ed Mazur!

Ed has been part of the St. Matthias family since 1977, when he and his late wife Carol moved to Richmond from New England. Invited by neighbors to visit St. Matthias, they immediately found the parish “exceedingly welcoming” — and the rest is history.

Originally from Connecticut, Ed grew up in a Lutheran church founded by Swedish and Finnish immigrants, where his love of church community and choir music first began. Today, he still enjoys singing in the choir, especially during Christmas Eve services when “Silent Night” brings back cherished childhood memories.

One of Ed’s favorite St. Matthias memories was helping with the early church BBQ pig roasts — an experience that, in his words, helped him officially “become a Virginian.”

Ed treasures the warmth, care, and spiritual life of St. Matthias, and we are grateful for the wisdom, kindness, and history he brings to our parish family.
