The Religion series has two sub-series: the Episcopal Church (larger) and the Roman Catholic Church. Materials in both include Kavanaugh's correspondence with Episcopal and Catholic institutions and clergy, and his writings about homosexuality and the church's position on the subject of homosexuality, homosexuality in scripture, gay marriage, families of gays and lesbians, religious services for GLBT parishioners, gay clergy, sexual abuse and the church, and many others. The Episcopal Church files also includes records of the St. Matthew's and St. Joseph's Episcopal Church, materials of the Metropolitan Community Church of Detroit; Kavanaugh's self-published periodical The bead reader publications of Integrity, an organization of GLBT Episcopalians, Integrity news & notes and The voice of Integrity. Within the St. Matthew's and St. Joseph's Episcopal Church files are a few undated photographs of church members.
