Together at the Table: Diverstiy without Division in the UMC

Together at the Table is the personal story and public message of Bishop Karen Oliveto, the first openly LGBTQ person to be elected a bishop in The United Methodist Church. Bishop Oliveto believes that the church can stay together–that people of different convictions can remain in communion with one another. Woven together with her own story of coming out and following God’s call to ordained ministry is her guidance for how to live together despite differences–by practicing empathy, living with ambiguity, appreciating the diversity of creation, and embracing unity without uniformity.
