Thanks for posting this Ben.

I think it needs to be explicitly stated in the Church Mission statement that LGBTI people are welcomed and accepted wholeheartedly. And the Mission statement should be online and in any other documentation to do with the church.

Church involvement in PFLAG and other similar groups also communicates that the church is truly accepting and won't be trying to change LGBTI folk.

Accepting churches can also contact the Gay and Lesbian Switchboard, JOY FM, f2b and other community groups to let them know they are accepting of LGBTI people.

Blessings,
