Big news from RMN — and we are so excited to share it with you.

We are thrilled to announce that the Rev. Andromeda (Andi) Woodworth (she/they) has been named the next Executive Director of Reconciling Ministries Network.

Andi comes to this role as a United Methodist elder, a gifted preacher and writer, and the founding pastor of Neighborhood Church in Atlanta — a congregation celebrated across the region for its radically inclusive, liberation-focused ministry. She has spent nearly two decades building communities of belonging, advocating for LGBTQ+ rights in Georgia and beyond, and leading with both courage and deep pastoral care.

For Andi, RMN isn't just an organization — it's been part of her own journey. And now she gets to help lead it into its next chapter. We can't wait.

Andi will begin her role as Executive Director effective June 1, 2026. For now, join us in welcoming Andi.

🎵 "When all around my soul gives way,
he then is all my hope and stay."

The hymn "My Hope Is Built" (no. 368 in The United Methodist Hymnal) was written as an expression of the "Gracious Experience of a Christian." Written by Edward Mote, a former cabinet maker who became a minister at age 55, the song is full of reminders of Christ's ever present love--even in the midst of trying times.

💭 Have you witnessed s reminder of Christ's presence lately?

We know some of these folks!
