      Dear More Light friends and supporters,

      Merry Christmas to all!  As 2007 draws to a close and we celebrate the coming of Christ into the world,  More Light Presbyterians are reminded that every person matters and that every story matters.

      2007 was an extraordinary year for More Light Presbyterians and the LGBT Equality Movement within our Church and in society.  

      Reasons for hope abound as we reflect upon progress made, new More Light Churches recognized, an extraordinary new National Conference celebrated, the cause of LGBT justice and equality by presbyteries taken, faith-based community organizing around the country offered, and new national projects created.
