Building an Inclusive
Community The workshop was followed by a short worship/devotion service planned by the WEAVERS committee. |
We invite you to join us on
a journey of faith that will lead to the 2012 USA National Conference
and beyond. The delegate conference, July 18–22, 2012, in
Independence, Missouri, will determine the level of support for
1.) Extending the sacrament of marriage to persons of the same
sex/gender OR providing a church-recognized way for two persons
of the same sex/gender to publicly express their commitment to
each other.
2.) Allowing people in committed, monogamous, long-term, same
sex/gender relationships (legal marriage, civil union, church-recognized
commitment) to be considered for ordination.
The delegates’ common consent will determine if present policies
will remain in place or new policies will need to be written and
implemented. .............. Click here to read the entire letter
We believe that the film * 8: The Mormon Proposition is prima facie evidence why it is important for the church and the state to maintain a separation. For one faith community to impose its perception of right on an entire state and perhaps an entire country, flies in the face of the freedom of each religion to abide by its own faith principles free from the power or control by the state, or by another religion using the state to control the faith practices of other faiths.
We believe this film provides an opportunity for faith communities in Fort Collins to form a Coalition of Welcoming Faith Communities so that GLBTIQQA persons can find a safe and supporting faith community for them to develop their spirituality and relationship with God.

A new standing committee has been appointed to replace the WCN committee.
The committee is named WEAVERS, which is an acronym for:
Welcoming all,
Educating ourselves about the marginalized,
Accepting our giftedness,
Visioning for peace and justice,
Exploring the spirit of diversity,
Responding to our community, and
Serving all.
The committee's responsibility will be to help us more fully live out our covenant of welcome within the community of Fort Collins. Members of the committee are: Dick Foster, Jon Mendenhall, Max Coopwood, Tom Beck, Sharon Troyer, Shirley Remmenga, and Rich and Mary Kohlman, serving as co-chairs. Please contact any member of the committee with ideas and opportunities as we strive to flesh out our covenant of welcome.One of the new committee's first tasks was to create a brochure to be distributed at Pride in the Park on June 5th.
