The Center for LGBTQ and Gender Studies in Religion (CLGS) was established at Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, California and opened its doors in the fall of 2000.
The Center serves three distinct but overlapping constituencies: the world of academic religious scholarship; faith communities; and lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer and transgender people and organizations. For each of these constituent groups, CLGS is committed to providing programming and support for research, resources, education for leadership, and community-building/advocacy. All programming is devoted to carrying out the Center’s fundamental mission:
To advance the well-being of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people and to transform faith communities and the wider society by taking a leading role in shaping a new public discourse on religion, gender and sexuality through education, research, community building and advocacy.
Our mission is to advance the well-being of lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, and transgender people and to transform faith communities and the wider society by taking a leading role in shaping a new public discourse on religion, gender identity, and sexuality through education, research, community building, and advocacy.
CLGS was established at Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, California and opened its doors in the fall of 2000. Discussions about the establishment of the Center began in 1996 and included the insights and assistance of many people at PSR, the Graduate Theological Union, and the broader religious community. Since the late 1970s and early 1980s, Pacific School of Religion (PSR) has supported LGBTQ seminarians in many ways. The school currently numbers many LGBTQ-identified people among its student body, faculty, staff and Board of Trustees. The establishment of the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies in Religion and Ministry (CLGS) marked another, very significant step in PSR’s commitment to justice for all of God’s children. Pacific School of Religion is a progressive, multidenominational seminary and center for social justice that prepares spiritually-rooted leaders to work for the well-being of all people.
The idea for the Center became a reality in part through the wonderful support of the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation, which provided the Center a five-year start-up grant to cover basic operating expenses.
The Center is dedicated to the encouragement of new, creative scholarship on the interrelations of religion, gender identity and sexuality / sexual orientation; to the production and dissemination of innovative resources for the academy, faith communities, activists, and the general public; to the development of enlightened leadership around issues of religion, gender identity, and sexuality through education; and to presenting a new public voice in the discourse over sexual and gender identity through media outreach and coalition building.

Friends of Nigeria, based in Berkeley, California, is an alumni community rooted in the Peace Corps experience and dedicated to maintaining meaningful connections with Nigeria. Founded in 1996, the organization brings together former Peace Corps Volunteers and staff who served in Nigeria, along with members of the Nigerian diaspora and others passionate about supporting Nigerian communities. With approximately 1,200 living members, the organization has cultivated a vibrant network that extends far beyond traditional fundraising—it serves as a gathering place where members reconnect through annual meetings, quarterly newsletters, Zoom reunions of training cohorts, and a comprehensive website featuring stories, photos, and articles about Nigeria. What distinguishes Friends of Nigeria is its deep commitment to grassroots partnership and local empowerment. Rather than imposing external solutions, the organization funds projects that emerge from community priorities and rely on local decision-making. This philosophy has guided the distribution of over $458,000 in grants since 1996, with particular emphasis on health education and maternal health initiatives that reflect the evolving needs of Nigerian communities. The organization's work extends to maintaining a database of members, publishing occasional directories, and hosting connections that keep the Peace Corps community engaged with Nigeria long after service ends. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and affiliate member of the National Peace Corps Association, Friends of Nigeria represents a unique blend of personal relationships, shared values, and sustained commitment to international development.
