MCC San Francisco in CA, USA is highlighted in a recent episode of Slate’s Death, Sex & Money podcast, titled “The Lord Is My Shepherd and He Knows I’m Gay.” This coverage is a powerful reminder of our founding purpose and the unconditional love that defines our mission, especially during times of crisis.

When the Metropolitan Community Church was founded in the late sixties, it was one of the first gay positive churches in America. When AIDS hit, it became a refuge for people who were sick and those who were mourning them.

In this episode, Anna talks to researcher Lynne Gerber, about finding boxes of cassettes under the church floor in an MCC church in San Francisco, and how those recordings of sermons and songs became a podcast about finding community and comfort during a crisis.
