In 1976, the Episcopal Church passed a resolution affirming that gay people are 'children of God who have a full and equal claim with all other persons upon the love, acceptance, and pastoral concern and care of the Church.' The Episcopal Church has since embraced marriage equality, and it ordains priests and bishops irrespective of sexual orientation or gender identity.
