Hello friends and supporters - Taking this year's Community of Christ 2025 World Conference theme ("Hope Is Here") to heart, Harmony has designed a compelling and thought-provoking shirt that acknowledges an often-overlooked truth: hope isn’t always easy to find—especially for those on the margins. Our World Conference theme is "Find Hope Here." For many in the Queer/2SLGBTQIA+ (Queer) Community, hope has been elusive...especially in recent years. Despite progress in some areas over the course of the last few decades, Queer members of Community of Christ often still face mistreatment, micro-aggressions, ignorance, and bad theology. Hope doesn’t always feel present in our churches, our church policies, our communities, our governments, or our conversations. And yet, Queer individuals continue to show up—seeking community, searching for belonging, and becoming hope for others in the process. This year’s campaign is a reminder: Hope is worth seeking out. And we—together—can help make it more visible. Christian churches—including Community of Christ—have caused and continue to cause harm to Queer individuals and their families. If we are serious about inclusion, we must also be serious about reconciliation. Without it, hope will remain just out of reach for those who need it most. If you are in a position to donate in addition to your purchase, all funds will go toward Harmony’s ongoing mission to provide advocacy, education, and resources for Queer voices in Community of Christ. Whether you are attending World Conference in person, online, or not at all this year, purchasing a shirt will help raise awareness, spark conversation, and affirm that hope belongs to everyone. ✨ Find hope here. ✨ Learn more about Harmony at www.harmony.lgbt. If you aren’t interested in purchasing a shirt but would like to support this work, you can donate at www.harmony.lgbt/donate. And it's not just World Conference this year...
We’re excited to share Harmony’s 2025 Pride design! This year’s theme, “Thrive Anyway,” is a bold declaration of resilience and authenticity. Even in a world that feels increasingly hostile to the Queer / 2SLGBTQIA+ Community, we are called to live fully, love deeply, and take up space. We will not just survive—we will thrive. About the Campaign and HarmonyProceeds from Harmony’s annual Pride shirt campaign support our ongoing work to break down walls of exclusion and misunderstanding surrounding sexuality and gender identity in Community of Christ.
