Many communities of faith and or spiritual practice are gathering to consider how we may work collaboratively to have a unified and substantive presence again at this year’s Kingston Pride Parade. Last year nine communities of spiritual practice, tallying to 90+ persons, joined together to provide a substantive affirming presence to the community for our 2SLGBTQIA+ siblings by joining together in the Kingston Pride Parade. We are hopeful for a larger presence this year. Last year the Society of Friends, the Unitarian Fellowship and many of the Kingston United, Anglican, Lutheran, Presbyterian churches participated.
