CHUMC is proud to be a reconciling congregation. All are welcome! After a period of prayerful discernment, we joined the reconciling network over a year ago.
CHUMC is involved with the B-WARM Network. B-WARM works to encourage dialogue and education about lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) issues, increase the number of reconciling congregations, and stand in solidarity with all who have been excluded or marginalized by the Church. Members come from United Methodist churches from across the Baltimore-Washington Conference. Some of us are members of reconciling congregations; many of us are not. We are LGBT and straight people.
Wording adapted from the B-WARM website .
Our members participated in Washington's Gay Pride Parade on Saturday, June 9th joining other congregations from the Baltimore/Washington. It was a great opportunity to share God's love and welcome to all people - and ensure that people know there are local congregations where they are welcome to worship.
