6-page Brochure entitled "Come Alive Don't Suffocate in Spiritual Closets."

This pamphlet encourages gay and lesbian Christians who feel alienated from their churches to embrace an affirming spiritual identity rather than remain, in its words, in "spiritual closets." It presents the Church of the Beloved Disciple as a sacramental Catholic community where LGBTQ people could worship openly and fully, arguing that gay identity is a God-given gift and calling for the creation and support of LGBTQ-led churches. Combining theological reflection with an invitation to membership, the brochure illustrates the church's mission to unite traditional Catholic worship with the emerging gay liberation movement of the 1970s.
