YOUNGSTOWN — First Unitarian Universalist Church, 1105 Elm St., announced this morning that its members voted overwhelmingly to be a "welcoming congregation" to bisexual, gay, lesbian and transgender people and their families.

In the Unitarian Universalist church, the "welcoming congregation" designation signifies an official statement of moral responsibility to pursue social equality.

The Unitarian Universalist Churches are pretty liberal, in fact its about the most liberal Christian Church.  They were also at the forefront of the anti-slavery movement back in the day.
