- Members of the Church of the Beloved Disciple process through Midtown Manhattan during the Fifth Annual Christopher Street Liberation Day March on June 30, 1974. Marching beneath processional crosses, banners, and the church's heraldic standard, the congregation transformed the annual Pride march into a public act of Christian witness, proclaiming that LGBTQ people belonged fully within the sacramental life of the Church. By 1974, the Church of the Beloved Disciple had become one of the most visible religious organizations participating in New York City's Pride celebrations, bringing liturgy, sacred art, and public faith into the heart of the growing gay liberation movement.
