2. 111 UM Pastors Sign Letter to General Conference
The General Conference of The United Methodist Church is the denomination's official decision-making body, which meets once every four years. General Conference is being held this year in Portland, OR. On the eve of the Conference's start. 111 United Methodist clergy and clergy candidates signed a "Love Letter to the Church," coming out as openly gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, or intersex.
Pastor Kelly was one of the signers on this letter, along with the Rev. Kristin Stoneking, Executive Director of the Fellowship of Reconciliation, also a UM clergywoman living in Davis, affiliated with DUMC and known to many of us.
In her sermon on May 15th, Pastor Kelly expressed gratitude for the strong support of this congregation. |
