“While there has been some progress over the year with regards to the Church’s relationships and engagement with UKME/GMH communities, we are all aware that there is still a way to go. Much more needs to be done in order of the Church to be a place where ALL people, irrespective of their identities feel valued, welcomed and affirmed. I believe that the Church, as an institution within our society, has a pivotol role in this.
We must work together to make this Church a place where we are deemed equal as brothers and sisters in Christ, made in the image of God. It is only then that we become truly what we were called to be, ‘a light unto the nations.’ ‘”
