The following directories are excellent resources for any Religious Educator (e.g., "Christian Educator," rabbi, youth pastor, religious education committee chairpersons, religious education teachers, etc.) participating in prophetic churches that celebrate the full participation of all people, without regard to sexual orientation or gender identity.
