Progressive Welcoming & Affirming Baptist Congregation Seeks Pastor

University Baptist Church, Seattle WA seeks a full-time pastor to walk in ministry with us as we divest ourselves of a building that no longer serves our vision of ministry. We are an active and mission-oriented congregation that values care and compassion for one another. With a long history of mission work locally and globally, we continue to advocate for social and multicultural concerns related to an urban church. As a Welcoming and Affirming community, we celebrate our ethnic, social, and theological diversity. Our worship speaks through preaching, music, drama, and prayer. We seek a pastor whose prophetic voice is enriched by sound scholarship. For more information, contact Mary Rolston at ubcsea.search@gmail.com and visit our website at ubcseattle.org .

National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Seeks Fellows to Work with Communities of Faith and Communities of Color

The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force's Academy for Leadership and Action (the Academy) prepares leaders and potential leaders, primarily at the local and state levels, to fill the staff, board, and volunteer roles critical to the success of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) movement. The Summer Academy Fellowship is a paid social-justice fellowship that provides the first-hand, real-world experience working for social justice necessary for becoming professional organizers or capacity builders. You’ll learn to develop and disseminate a progressive worldview that connects LGBT issues to struggles against racism, classism, ableism, and spiritual oppression; to build relationships with a broad-cross section of other LGBT movement leaders, especially in communities of faith and communities of color, that will endure for the long-term; and to mobilize mass numbers of people for direct action targeted at achieving immediate political gains for the LGBT community.
