Seventh-day Adventist Kinship International : ウィキペディア英語版 | Seventh-day Adventist Kinship International Seventh-day Adventist Kinship International is a support organization that provides a spiritual and social community to current and former Seventh-day Adventists who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and/or intersex (LGBTI), and have felt hurt or rejected because of their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. SDA Kinship offers them the compassion and support not generally available within the organized Adventist Church.〔(Welcome to SDA Kinship )〕 == History and organization == SDA Kinship grew out of a 1976 meeting in Palm Desert, California, after some gay Adventist men placed an advertisement in ''The Advocate'' seeking other gay Adventists. Within four months there were 75 members and a rudimentary organization. During this time the name "Kinship" was chosen because Seventh-day Adventists typically enjoy a close-knit family relationship with each other. Small groups of gay Adventists who had found each other in New York and San Francisco soon joined Kinship. SDA Kinship is managed by a volunteer board and was incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1981. Current membership, including friends and family, is approximately 1,500 people in 62 countries. At this time Kinship has no formal connection with the Seventh-day Adventist Church.〔(Welcome to SDA Kinship )〕
