No Longer Silent: Clergy for Justice
Believing it was time to speak out in support of gays and lesbians, in the Fall of 1998 several mainline Christian clergy formed the No Longer Silent (NLS) organization in the Valley of the Sun.  The public had already heard from right-wing Christian groups; NLS wanted people to know there are Christians who accept and affirm gays and lesbians in every way.

Eventually over 160 Arizona clergy signed on to NLS's "Phoenix Declaration".  Churches represented are:  United Methodists, Presbyterians, United Church of Christ, Lutherans, Catholics, Unitarians, Disciples of Christ, and American Baptists.  NLS expresses their openness to their own congregations and denominations, and to the public through letters to the editors, demonstrations, public forums, and appearances at the Legislature.  NLS works toward the day when all of society will be open to God's children.
