1,000 Conversations has been launched by
Presbyterian Welcome and
That All May Freely Serve, two organizations which work for fairness, welcome and inclusion for all members of the Presbyterian Church, including gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender members. To the charge of partisanship we plead guilty. We do have a particular point of view, and we hope that our Presbyteries will ratify amendment 08B and open the doors to Ordination to all who are called and qualified. But more than that, we’re tired of fighting. We’re tired of the rancor, the bad feeling, and the mistrust, and we’re hungry for something new. We’ve had the great honor of talking to other Presbyterians who do not share our views on Ordination standards, and those conversations have been humbling, gratifying, and transforming.
Maybe you’re hungry for something new too – a church that will be a demonstration to the world of overcoming partisanship by the power of grace. Our hope is that our Presbytery vote on 08-B will give us a new chance to get to know one another, share our stories of faith, and seek God’s will together. Please join us and be one in 1,000.
