Two years ago today, the United Methodist Church made history by removing language from the Book of Discipline that had mandated the exclusion of LGBTQ+ people from ordination and ministry for decades.

It was over 50 years in the making. We celebrate it fully and without apology.

And we're also realistic about where we are: GC2024 removed mandated discrimination. It didn't end discrimination. Q***r candidates are being ordained in some conferences and are still unsafe to come out in others. Same-gender weddings are being celebrated in some sanctuaries and declined in others. Whether someone experiences a truly welcoming church still depends almost entirely on their zip code.

The policy changed. The work hasn't stopped.

RMN exists for this moment — resourcing, equipping, and leading the movement until every child of God, in every community, finds a church that means it when they say "you belong here."

If this work matters to you, will you help sustain it?
