Religious Institute

Founded in 2001, the Religious Institute on Sexual Morality, Justice and Healing is a multi-faith national organization advocating for sexual health, education, and justice in faith communities and society. The Religious Institute has emerged as the national leadership organization working at the intersection of religion and sexuality issues. Our staff provide clergy, congregations, and denominational bodies with technical assistance on addressing sexuality and reproductive issues, and assist sexual and reproductive health (SRH) organizations on addressing religious issues and developing outreach to faith communities. Our partners include the major SRH organizations as well as the leading mainstream and progressive religious institutions in the United States. The Religious Institute's mission is to change the way America understands the relationship of sexuality and religion.
