Mission

The Religious Institute's mission is to change the way America understands the relationship of sexuality and religion.

The primary objectives of the Religious Institute include:

  • Developing and supporting a network of clergy, religious educators, theologians, ethicists, and other religious leaders committed to sexual justice

  • Building the capacity of religious institutions and clergy to offer sexuality education within the context of their own faith traditions

  • Helping congregations become sexually healthy faith communities

  • Educating the public and policymakers about a progressive religious vision of sexual morality, justice, and healing
