“All of Us” Campaign
◦ Church emphasizes the dignity of all people, including those with a homosexual orientation. A homosexual orientation is not considered
immoral in itself.
◦ Church: “all of us must strive to eliminate any forms of injustice, oppression, or violence” against homosexual persons
◦ The Church community should be a place where homosexual persons are welcomed.
