• New Jersey has recognized and performed civil unions between same-sex couples since February, 2007. However, Civil Unions Won't Provide All the Benefits Of Marriage. A year later, a special Task Force issues an interim report on civil unions and the Diocese of Newark. Suggested rites for Civil Unions in English and Spanish are available here.

THE OASIS is a justice ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Newark with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex and Straight persons, their families and friends, regardless of age, race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, class, ability, economic or educational status.

THE OASIS is a ministry of cultural and racial diversity with all who experience prejudice and oppression because of their sexual orientation or expression.

THE OASIS offers reconciliation, education, liberation and hope to all who seek sanctuary, empowerment, justice and peace.

We are:

• Claiming the Gospel promise of liberation
• In solidarity with the prophetic witness of scripture
• Embodied in justice, hospitality and love
