Summary
Jay Williams III is pastor of Union Church in Boston, which has the distinction go being the first historically Black United Methodist congregation ever to become officially LGBTQ affirming. As a queer Black man himself, Jay shares how the support of his family and congregation has given him both the support and the responsibility to help build a transformed church where future generations can all share in the freedom to explore who God created them to be.
