Background
Background on the Common Witness Coalition
The Common Witness is a coalition of the Reconciling Ministries Network, Affirmation and the Methodist Federation for Social Action. Together, we will work for a more inclusive church for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people—always in a broader context that strives for justice around issues of race, gender, global partnerships, peace, stewardship of creation and economic justice.
We are people committed to following Jesus Christ to embody God’s love and justice through The United Methodist Church. Ever open to the surprising movement of the Holy Spirit in our midst as we strive to love our neighbors, we embrace our unity in Christ in the midst of diverse opinions to provide a Common Witness.
