A Message from Kathy Cheney-Egan

Dear Reconciling family,

For the past 9 years, I’ve had the honor to serve as the Director of Fund Development at RMN. These have been some of the most fulfilling and meaningful years of my career. However, the time has come for me to pass the baton.

As of October 1, 2024, I’m retiring from RMN. I’m excited about this major life transition, and I’m sorrowful to leave behind an amazing team.

I still remember my first day here. I was greeted with an avalanche of welcoming emails and voicemails. Never had I experienced this kind of reception. But then, that’s what this movement is all about, isn’t it? Reconciling people like you not only talk the talk of welcome, but you truly walk the walk. Thank you for teaching me so much about this spirit-filled faithfulness.

You hold a very special place in my heart. From my desk – my point of view, I saw every day that the efforts and generosity of our movement have made a real difference.

Finally, while I will no longer be a member of the RMN staff, I will always be a part of this movement for LGBTQ+ justice. Right alongside you. And I hope to get to see and visit with you in the seasons to come.

My personal theology is centered in community-built justice. I believe deeply that we cannot be the Church unless this body includes everyone. I have seen glimpses of what is to come, and it’s a vision worth pursuing.

Grace and peace,

Kathy Cheney-Egan

P.S.: It would mean so much to me if you’d celebrate my retirement with me by making a donation to support the Reconciling movement. You can also feel free to leave me a message. I’d cherish your words. Thank you!
