Inclusion

January 14, 2020

We, the undersigned appointed clergy of Manchester United Methodist Church, are committed to remaining in the United Methodist Church as it becomes a fully inclusive, affirming denomination. We believe we are called to be an inclusive community of people who love Christ deeply, worship Christ passionately, and serve Christ boldly.

It is our intention to live out this calling as a part of a fully inclusive, affirming United Methodist Church.

Peace,

Rev. Andy Bryan, Rev. Stephanie Lendt, Rev. Phil Estes, Rev. Winter Hamilton, Rev. Jim Peich
