step by step

It has been too long since we updated this site. Since our last post, many exciting things have happened:

• We reviewed the entire Credentialing process for new ministers and suggested changes that we hope will help make the materials and the process more anti-racist, anti-oppressive and multicultural.  The Ministerial Credentialing Director, Rev. David Pettee, has already begun implementing some of the suggestions and has taken other to the Ministerial Fellowship Committee for discussion.
• We met with students, faculty, and staff of Meadville Lombard Theological School to review the history of anti-racism, anti-oppression, and multicultural work and the school and to help clarify directions for the work to continue.
• We sent a representative to meet with District Executives and District Consultants at their most recent meeting.
• We’ve continued to connect with stakeholders in this work and hope to send representatives to the stakeholder’s gathering at General Assembly in Fort Worth, as well as have conversations with as many stakeholders as we can at GA.
