Welcoming & Affirming All People 

TWO supports the Association of Welcoming and Affirming Baptists (AWAB) as the only organization solely devoted to building the Welcoming and Affirming movement within the Baptist traditions. AWAB has a unique call to be The National Voice for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Allied Baptists in the US.

Since 1993 AWAB has been supporting churches in being and becoming Welcoming and Affirming of all people regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation.  AWAB works as individuals, congregations, regional groupings and as a national body to advance the receptivity of the LGBTQ community among the Christian communities where, ultimately, all will be one.

TWO’s Managing Director delivered a sermon on this subject at the First Baptist Church in America in Providence, meeting the variety of views on the subject “where they were at” and through the scriptures, bringing hope to congregants regardless of position and experience.

Crossing the Bridge:
Remembering Congressman John Lewis

John Robert Lewis (February 21, 1940 – July 17, 2020) was an American statesman and civil rights leader who served in the United States House of Representatives for Georgia’s 5th congressional district from 1987 until his death in 2020.

Inspired by Lewis and moved by his death, TWO Managing Director Larry Wilson was stirred to deliver a tribute to this mentor for his timeless dedication to diversity and anti-bias thought and action.  “Crossing the Bridge” celebrated Lewis as a man of God and because it did, Wilson thought it only fitting that his words be shared with the waiting congregation of Providence’s First Baptist Church in America on August 23, 2020.

One of the “Big Six” leaders of groups who organized the 1963 March on Washington, Lewis fulfilled many key roles in the civil rights movement and its actions to end legalized racial segregation in the United States. In 1965, he led the first of three Selma to Montgomery marches across the Edmund Pettus Bridge. In an incident which became known as Bloody Sunday, state troopers and police attacked the marchers, including John Lewis.
