Happy New Year, DignityUSA! As we enter 2018, we are overwhelmed with gratitude. Because of your generosity, we have surpassed our fundraising goal for our annual Advent Appeal.

In 2017, DignityUSA has worked hard to represent and advocate for the LGBTQI community, our supporters, and our members. We are proud of our accomplishments, but know we couldn't do it without you. Thank you for your generosity.

Please join us in celebrating this year's accomplishments--steps DignityUSA has taken in 2017 to build a more just Church and society.

Let's keep the momentum going! Help make 2018 the most impactful, successful year in DignityUSA's history! Please consider making a year-end donation today.

Thank you for your support.

On December 12th, Dignity/Dayton’s Living Beatitudes’ Community (LBC) organized and participated in a three-act play, entitled “Mary/Maryam.” The play explored similarities and differences between Mary and Maryam (as Mary is called in the Islamic tradition) in the Birth, Annunciation and Nativity narratives from the Q’uran and Bible, LBC members and members of the Dayton and Cincinnati Islamic communities acted in the play.

Previously, members of the Ahmadiyya Mosque were inivted to attend liturgy at LBC.. A discussion of Islamic faith and practices followed the liturgy, and members of the two faith communities were able to discuss the role of women and LGBT people in their respective traditions.

As another year ends, we at DignityUSA would like to wish you a very happy, healthy 2018. May your year be full of meaning, service to others, family, and friends. God bless!
