With this foundation, and the knowledge that we are <i>b'tzelem elohim</i>, created in the image of God, we believe that these values call us to achieve complete inclusion, integration and equal standing of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in our congregations and communities. <br><br> To achieve this, the Institute educates and trains students, scholars and professionals toward this goal. We hope that the people we train will develop a theology and practice of inclusion which will guide them in the transformation of those they touch into inclusive and welcoming communities. <br><br> The Institute also seeks to encourage progressive dialogue between organizations within the Reform Movement on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender topics as well as with community based educational, political and social service organizations. <br><br> For further information, please contact the Director of the Institute:<br> Joel.
