From the One Archive finding aid: The Southern California Council on Religion and the Homophile SCCRH traces its origins to a June 1 1965 meeting of 20 individuals in the Westchester YMCA called by the Council on Religion and the Homosexual of San Francisco which had been founded in 1964. The purposes of SCCRH were "to open the avenues of communication and understanding between churchmen and homophiles; to investigate and implement ways for meeting the spiritual needs and social responsibilities of homophiles; to encourage more satisfactory climate of opinion within the community on broad matters of sex and morals; and to seek just social treatment of the homophile community". The articles of incorporation submitted to the California Secretary of State in April 1966 were signed by the Rev. Alexander Smith director of the Downtown Service Bureau of the Los Angeles Missionary Society of the Methodist Church; W. Dorr Legg of ONE Institute; the Rev. Kenneth Wahrenbrock of the First Methodist Church in Glendale; the Rev. Marjorie Likins; and the gay activist and journalist Jim Kepner. The SCCRH provided an extensive program of monthly lectures discussion groups and informal meetings of clergymen church members and members of the GLBT community; retreats and conferences exploring homosexuality and religion; "exposure education" for non-gay clergymen and church members to learn about such aspects of GLBT culture as gay bars clubs and organizations; assistance to churches developing policies relating to homosexuality and religion and to homosexual law reform; and training for counselors teachers clergymen and others who counseled homosexuals. The organization originally utilized the mailing address of the Rev. Smith's Downtown Service Bureau; by 1970 it used the address of the Los Angeles Council of Churches on West Adams Blvd.; and by February 1971 the Venice Blvd. address of ONE Institute of which both Legg and Kepner were officers.
