Help ReconcilingWorks welcome the newest Reconciling in Christ (RIC) community:
Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church in Tucson, Arizona.
Their welcome statement reads:
“Welcome. Your presence builds up the body of Christ.
We welcome and affirm God’s diversity, including all ethnicities, cultures, races, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, abilities, ages, and life experiences. You are invited to full participation in our congregation because of who you are.
We lament and confess how the Christian Church has withheld Christ’s love by misusing the power of institution. We commit to advocating for God’s justice and mercy for all of creation, including humans. We commit to anti-racism and other ways of ending systems that cause harm.
‘Christ is our peace and breaks down the walls that divide us.’ (Ephesians 2:14)
Our communion table is Christ’s table. You and all people are welcome without exception.“
