T-Z Subjects: A-E F-L M-Z Metropolitan Community Church page: On an autumn Sunday morning in 1968 a twice-defrocked gay Pentecostal minister welcomed twelve people into his living room for a worship service. From that distinctly modest beginning the Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) has grown into a worldwide ministry with over forty thousand members in eighteen countries. Origins The Reverend Troy Perry felt the call to preach at an early age, delivering his first sermon when he was only thirteen. Although his parents were not particularly religious, his family had strong church ties; one of his aunts was a Pentecostal preacher who handled snakes as a sign of faith and an uncle was a Baptist minister. Sponsor Message. After giving a sermon at his uncle's church at the age of fifteen, Perry was licensed as a Baptist minister. Feeling closer in spirit to the Pentecostals, however, Perry held pastorates in the Church of God and then in the Church of God of Prophecy but was dismissed from both because of his homosexuality. Several years later, while recovering from a suicide attempt after a failed love affair, Perry, who came from a religious tradition that held homosexuality to be a sin, realized that God did love himand other gay men and lesbians.

T-Z Subjects: A-E F-L M-Z Metropolitan Community Church page: Ecumenicism Although Perry's religious roots are in the Pentecostal church, his vision for the MCC has always been ecumenical. Two of the first clerics to join him in the MCC ministry were Richard Ploen, a Presbyterian who served with him at the Mother Church in Los Angeles, and Arthur Green, the founder of the Chicago congregation, who came from the Old Catholic denomination. Perry credits Ploen for his help in "gleaning what we needed from other denominations' ceremonies" in order to make members feel comfortable in the new church. The modern MCC, in the words of John Dart, "displays a patchwork of spirituality to people attracted to its congregations." While some churches retain the charismatic Pentecostal tradition, others favor a more metaphysical philosophy, and a San Francisco congregation has been described as "dam [sic] near Unitarian."
