Center for LGBQ Studies
The Center for LGBTQ and Gender Studies in Religion was established at Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, California and opened its doors in the fall of 2000. Discussions about the establishment of the Center began in 1996 and included the insights and assistance of many people at PSR, the Graduate Theological Union, and the broader religious community. Since the late 1970s and early 1980s, Pacific School of Religion (PSR) has supported LGBTQ seminarians in many ways. The school currently numbers many LGBTQ identified people among its student body, faculty, staff and Board of Trustees. The establishment of the Center for LGBTQ and Gender Studies in Religion (CLGS) marked another, very significant step in PSR’s commitment to justice for all of God’s children. Pacific School of Religion is a progressive, multi demoninational seminary and center for social justice that prepares spiritually-rooted leaders to work for the well-being of all people.
