Help ReconcilingWorks welcome a new Reconciling in Christ (RIC) community:
United Lutheran Church of Long Island in Huntington Station, New York.
Their welcome statement reads:
“We believe that, just as Jesus transcended barriers of gender, racial equity, ability, and status, we are called to love and welcome all as God loves us.
By God’s grace, we are saved and called to respond to that love by being instruments of reconciliation and justice in the world. All are welcome at worship and our communion table: Regardless of gender, LGBTQIA+ or straight; all are welcome. Regardless of family structure, whether traditional, blended or chosen; all are welcome. Regardless of racial identity, ethnicity or cultural background; all are welcome. Whether single, married, divorced or widowed; all are welcome. Whether you are rich, poor, or in between, like to dress up or dress down; all are welcome. Whether you are old or young, able-bodied, or differently abled; all are welcome.
We celebrate our unity in Christ with all who share these values of inclusion and love.“
