Communication
Who we are:
| We are a cyber based organization. Our membership keeps in contact through our web site, and email. Soon we hope to have pod casts available on current events within the Church. |
Highlights
| The US Rainbow Sash Movement uses its expertise in the media to have a balanced public conversation with the US Bishops. It is important GLBT Catholics have access to the media in order to get their side out. The organizational focus is to begin a conversation about respect and diversity within the Church. We do not seek separate Liturgies. Our membership is encouraged to be active in their local parishes. The best way to correct false impressions is to let your spiritual neighbor know you. . |
About Us
Rainbow Sash Movement
| The Rainbow Sash Movement had its beginning in England. Nick Holloway was the first GLBT Catholic to wear the Rainbow Sash, a movement was born. The Rainbow Sash than traveled to Australia where it developed into a ecumenical group. It's leadership was no longer strictly Catholic The US Rainbow Sash Movement was founded by Joe Murray, and he became the first US Convener. He honors the founder's purpose to begin a dialogue within the Church about human sexuality, and the dignity of GLBT people. The US Rainbow Sash Movement has remained a Catholic Organization in membership and leadership. We wear Rainbow Sashes on Pentecost Sunday each year because we understand Pentecost as a celebration of the whole Church. The Bishops response to our form of self identification has been to refuse us the Holy Eucharist. They claim by self identifying we are protesting, so if we remain hidden we can receive the body and blood of Christ. In light of what the Catechism says that homosexual people "must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided" (CCC 2358). There is something morally incoherent about that position. |
