Reconciling Ministries
We are a Reconciling Congregation
We are a member congregation of the United Methodist Reconciling Ministries Network.
Living into our shared baptismal covenant, RMN equips and mobilizes United Methodists to resist evil, injustice, and oppression as we seek justice for people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. Reconciling Ministries Network envisions a renewed and vibrant Wesleyan movement that is biblically and theologically centered. As committed disciples of Jesus Christ, we strive to transform ourselves and the world by living out the Gospel’s teachings of grace, love, justice, and celebration of all of God’s children.
The Edmonds United Methodist Reconciling Team has been partnering with other churches and events over this past year. This has been an intense year as the United Methodist denomination discerns how to respond to LGBTQIA+ inclusion. Our congregation has responded prophetically and in solidarity, especially when LGBTQIA+ folks shared their thoughts, feelings, and stories from the pulpit after the 2019 General Conference decision. We continue to support each other as well as the broader community and denomination as we affirm the belovedness of our LGBTQIA+ siblings and include them fully in the life of our congregation.
