Hamline Church stands in opposition to the actions of the recent Special Session of the United Methodist General Conference in St Louis. We reaffirm our commitment to standing for justice and the full inclusion of LGTQIA persons in our church and in the world. We are mindful of the harm caused by these actions, and the need to create space to share, process and support each other. Thank you to the many of you who participated in last week’s forum. Today’s gathering will be an opportunity to listen and share our personal reactions and feelings. All are welcome.
