SAGA is an inclusive group founded by St. John’s Episcopal Church in Charleston, WV.  SAGA held its first meeting in December 2000 with professional counselors and members of St. John’s Episcopal Church who desired a forum for candid, informed discussion on gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender issues and for affirmation of life-enriching relationships with the hope of dispelling stereotypes and bias through education, community outreach, and fellowship.
