A journey of a thousand miles...

We are Oasis at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Oakland, California. We are lesbian, gay, bisesual, transgender, and others in support of full equality and love for all of our members and brothers and sisters in the community around our church and around the world.



Pretty ambitious, huh? What is it the say about the journey of a thousand miles? It starts with a single step.



In this blog, we hope to accomplish at least two things: chronicle the steps we take for social justice and to show that a Christian church is a place of inclusion, not judgement. Much more later...


In the meantime...see you in Church!
