In our effort to support every member of the Affirmation community and to provide a place of refuge and healing we will be starting regular online spiritual gatherings for anyone who would like to develop greater spiritual self-reliance. Each Spiritual Gathering will explore the spirituality of LGBT Mormons from a different perspective.
