SUMMARY:Whom Shall I Send? [Welcoming LGBTQ+ Clergy Candidates]
DESCRIPTION:The doors of The United Methodist Church have just opened a little further. This is a kairos moment. As United Methodists: who do we now choose to be? \nThe Church voted to do away with mandatory discrimination against LGBTQ+ people. In name\, we’ve removed barriers against ordination for called and qualified LGBTQ+ clergy candidates. Now\, we must live out that commitment to a fairer\, more equitable process. \nReconciling Ministries Network invites you and your annual conference’s Board of Ordained Ministries\, District Committee\, and Cabinet to a 1.5-hour virtual training to equip you for more equitable consideration of LGBTQ+ clergy candidates. \nYou’ll come away from this training with: \n\nConcrete steps to improve your AC’s structure and interview process\nAn up-to-date understanding of LGBTQ+ language and terminology\nA deeper investigation of gracious engagement across theological lines\, examination of policies and procedures\, and more.\n\nThis training will be led by RMN board and staff and by knowledgeable United Methodist experts on policy\, procedure\, and theology. \n* * * \nFor over 40 years\, Reconciling Ministries Network has been committed to intersectional justice across and beyond the United Methodist connection\, working for the full participation of all LGBTQ people throughout the life and leadership of the Church. \nLearn more about what RMN does in this video\, or visit our website.
