Reconciliation Statement
 Green Street United Methodist Church, Adopted October 2009
 
Green Street United Methodist Church is called to the ministry of the sacred worth of all people.  We embrace as a gift the diversity of our neighborhood and the world.  We celebrate our human family’s diversity of sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ethnicity, age, faith history, economic status, marital status, physical and mental ability education, and any other difference, real or perceived.  We affirm that all people are created in the image of God and as beloved children of God, all are worthy of God’s love and grace.  We welcome the full inclusion of all people in the life and ministries of Green Street United Methodist Church as we journey toward reconciliation through Christ.  We recognize that there are differences among us, but believe that we can love alike even though we may not think alike.  We proclaim this statement of welcome to all who have known the pain of exclusion and discrimination in the church or in society and know that everyone’s participation in our ministries enriches us.  We invite all people to join us in our faith journey toward greater love, understanding, and mutual respect.
