Help ReconcilingWorks welcome a new Reconciling in Christ (RIC) community:
Elim Lutheran Church in Petaluma, California.
Their welcome statement reads:
“Inspired by God’s wide vision, Elim Lutheran Church welcomes you as you are, wherever you are on your faith journey.
We count on the diversity of your ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, physical ability, socioeconomic status, vocation, education, abilities, and other attributes to make our community complete. We pray that our congregation will be a source of hospitality, grace, and hope, and commit ourselves to embracing the work of anti-racism and anti-discrimination, social and economic justice, and environmental care.
Recognizing that all of us are created in the image of God and that our diversity is a gift, we pledge to learn, grow, repent, and act as Christ’s followers in seeking justice, reconciliation, and healing. You are welcome. You are loved. You belong.“
