$ Whom Shall I Send? Welcoming LGBTQ+ Clergy Candidates
November 7 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
The doors of The United Methodist Church have just opened a little further. This is a kairos moment.
The 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.
Reconciling 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.
You’ll come away from this training with:
A deeper investigation of gracious engagement across theological lines, examination of policies and procedures, and more.
Concrete steps to improve your AC’s structure and interview process
An up-to-date understanding of LGBTQ+ language and terminology
