Knowing the policies of exclusion in The United Methodist Church, she pursued her Masters of Divinity and along the way suc-cessfully challenged discrimination in housing at Garrett Evangelical. While policies prevented Sue from being set aside for local ministry, they paved the way for a national

Praise God for Sue LaurieTransitionsBy Audrey Krumbach

Summertime in a United Method-ist church – vacation bible school, old ladies with paper fans, camp-meetings, and everyone’s favorite – new pastors! I sat in church this morning and where just two weeks ago stood a tall, brunette, mid-30’s male pastor was a thin, blonde, young woman pastor. Across our connection, younger souls are fi ll-ing pulpits recently vacated by the now-retired; families move out of a parsonage, and a single person moves in. Favorite sermon illus-trations will never be heard again, and tired old jokes will be (hap-pily) forgotten. Less than three weeks after I graduated from high school, my clergy mom was appointed to a new church. We moved from a sub-urb of 80,000 to an unincorporated town of about 2,000. We moved from a neighborhood full of houses, people, and my friends to a street with a taxidermist’s shop, orchard, corn fi eld, an egg farm, and cows! My life was over, or so I thought. It took me about three weeks to discover the surprising blessings of tiniest-town-ever living: fresh peaches at the end of a run, Miss Francis’ homemade fi g cook-ies, scrambled eggs from today’s laying, and singing from the old Cokesbury hymnal. Here at the Reconciling offi ce, we are experiencing a few transi-tions this summer. In the midst of hiring, retiring, transitions and changes, we are experiencing new realities in the general church and world! We celebrate with Iowa and

After sixteen years of ministry affi rming that “Reconciling is the radical notion that gay people want to go to church”, Sue Laurie offi cially retires from her staff role with RMN on September 7 at the Justice and Joy convocation. In her past eight years as outreach staff, she has faithfully spread the Good News that all are welcome at God’s table. As a circuit rider, Sue has traveled thousands of miles by air, land, and sea (ferry boats) to reach the most challenging regions of our church. The journey to challenge church injustice began with believing what she was taught as a child in Sunday School that “Jesus Loves Me This I Know”. Each year, after receiv-ing the call to ministry, she went forward during the ordination service invitation to ministry of the Western Pennsylvania Annual

See Page 3 for “Refl ections on Sue’s Ministry.”

“I am tremendously proud of my tenure at RMN and have seen the

ministry grow and develop in many positive ways in my eight years here.

I have loved my work with people seeking a truly inclusive sanctuary in the United Methodist Church. I

am deeply grateful for the relation-ships and opportunities I have had

in this ministry and it is my hope to continue to contribute in the future.” Sue Laurie

Spotlight: Faith UMC, Cedar Rapids, IA“We are a small congregation dedi-cated to the mission and ministry of Jesus and John Wesley to preach Good News to the poor. This comes from Luke 4, where Jesus describes the mission of his own life as he understood it.” From church website

The Iowa Annual Conference meet-ing included joyful, hardworking lay members from a church in Cedar Rapids. Offi cially reconciling since 1993, Faith UMC identify them-selves as “a group of friends, called Christians, where everyone can belong.”Working in several ministry teams, Faith UMC seeks to be and learn together in social action, worship, education and spiritual growth. Learning together how to love God and neighbor, Faith UMC helps many individuals realize how much God loves them. Rev. Kathleen Moore, pastor, says of the church “I am touched by the number of people… who express relief and joy at fi nd-ing a church that accepts them or their family members and friends. I long for the day when all of Christ’s church is so accepting.”Not just a social justice church, Faith is actively involved in outreach and education. Defi ning evangelism as care for not only those beyond the church family, but also visitors, con-stituents, and even current members at whatever point they are in the spiritual journey. Classes, worship and fellowship opportunities abound, with progressive dinners, movie

nights, open door coffee houses, sports events and concerts. On their website, Faith UMC lists historical and present social con-cerns which keep them busy with God’s work:

Bible study in its historical, po-litical, socio-economic context.Preaching the Gospel as Libera-tion Theology.Broad world view and awareness of diversity in Cedar Rapids.

Sanctuary church in response to war in El Salvador and the needs of undocumented workers and Hispanic immigrants.Supported and testifi ed on behalf of adding gender identity to the Civil Rights Code.Provided sanctuary for the Cedar Rapids Women’s Clinic while it was under fi re for issues of reproductive choice.

Sue came with us to clean his apart-ment where she went right to work scrubbing the toilets and mopping the fl oor. God bless you, Sue Laurie.”Bob and Betty Dorr, Betty is a former Board

Member

“Sue’s gift of hearing the stories, letting them have an impact on her theology, mobilizing ordinary churches and folks at a grassroots level, alongside her ability to reach out in reconciling -- yet clear -- ways to those around her are things that encourage me to keep on believing.”Joretta Marshall, former Board Member

“Courage, gentleness, simplicity, relentlessness, glorious.”Jorge Lockward, Convo Music Director

“I will never forget the joy on Sue’s face as she served communion dur-ing Sunday worship for General Conference 2008. Knowing that she is prevented by the church from fulfi lling her passion to minister and that the church loses the great gifts that she could give as a pastor, fuels my desire to work for change.”Elizabeth Fimbres, Board Member

Tiffany Stenwert and Sue Laurie hand out newsletters at 2004 Pittsburgh General Conference.

“Sue gets arrested in front of hun-dreds, comes to stay at your house in New Jersey, tells Bible stories better than your childhood Sunday school teacher, enjoys excessively long meetings, makes Bishops stop in their tracks, fi nds her way into front page color photo ops, gets hitched while others are preparing legisla-tion, likes board members, celebrates volunteers and enacts social justice before most people have had their morning cup of coffee.” Jeff Spelman, former Board Chair

“Year after year at the Western PA Annual Conference (her home Conference), Sue would go forward at the ordination service at that point in the liturgy when the Bishop issued an invitation for people feel-ing called to ministry to come forward. Sue did not hesitate to walk forward as a kind of “protest” because it was a tremen-dous opportunity to show everyone the effects of our discriminatory ordination policy. Every year, more and more people would walk forward with Sue, sometimes wearing rain-bow stoles or holding other symbols of the struggle. It made a difference for many people in WPA. Sue is a woman of conviction and courage!”Renee Waun, Western Pennsylvania

“When Beth Stroud’s fi rst trial ended, many of us had been standing in support. When the key players, other observers, and press left, Sue encouraged us to form a large circle, and we were together in singing/”worship”/prayer. I admired how she could speak on the spur of the moment as Spirit led, and not for the fi rst time did I mourn the systematic loss of people like Sue, and Beth, from our UMC. ”Peggy R. Gaylord, New York

“When we were devastated by our youngest son Mike’s struggles, Sue was a true friend who talked and prayed with us. When Mike died,

Workshop Registration

A Special FocusBy Sue Laurie: That’s So Gay! The Bible

and United Methodist Hymnal

God’s call for inclusion of all people comes in the words of the Gospel. Of course the Bible and the UM Hymnal are sources of inspiration to many people in following this call. However, their message is muted when forced through a heterosexual-privileged lens. This workshop will explore some favorite texts and hymns–ones that give me renewed spirit as a lesbian Christian on the journey toward a Reconciling UMC. Sometimes it is a word such as “rain-bow” or “home”, other times it may be the theology of Advent or Shalom that causes me to say, “This hymn was written for gay people!” Come to sing and to enjoy!Camp song:

We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord (x2)and we pray that all unity may one day be restored. RWe will work with each other, we will work side by side (x2)And we’ll guard human dignity and save human pride. RRefrain: And they’ll know we are Christians by our love, by our love; Yes, they’ll know we are Christians by our love.

“Can you listen again with LGBT ears?”

“What Bible story holds you to the Christian faith?”


When All Really Means Allmourn with California over mar-riage equality decisions; Desert Southwest claimed their prophetic voice by affi rming their stand as a Reconciling Annual Conference. At fi rst, transitions can seem frightening and sad. California’s passage of Proposition 8 was a clear legal defeat and a loss to our brothers and sisters, but here in Chicago a series of marches and rallies indicate a renewed move-ment energy for national marriage equality. As of this writing, with the question of Amendment 1 (All means ALL) before us, a MAJOR-ITY of United Methodists in the United States voted for an inclu-sion that has NO EXCEPTIONS.In the midst of this season of change, we have many things to look forward to. Believe Out Loud – our upcoming campaign – will fertilize our grassroots by offering the support and skills for building Annual Conference Teams (ACTs), who will then go out and connect with United Methodists across their conference. Reconciling is growing at a rate we have rarely ever seen – almost every week another church declares their fully inclusive ministry – and convoca-tion registrations are pouring in! Beginning to recognize RMN’s leadership, The United Methodist Church is moving towards wel-coming all persons of all sexual orientations and gender identities. In the last year, Desert Southwest Annual Conferences and the West-ern Jurisdiction declared them-selves reconciling; the General Board of Church and Society has initiated the creation of curricu-lum which will obey the Resolu-tion passed by General Conference “Opposition to Homophobia and Heterosexism.” In many ways our United Methodist family and our structure are taking steps toward the call of God to a welcome which refl ects the love of Jesus Christ for all persons.

“Transitions” Continued from Page 1

By Rev. Troy Plummer

When All Means All, we won’t vote on the worth of human beings or the legality of their marriages in the church or the world. Even against a strong disinfor-mation campaign from opponents, the annual confer-ence gatherings of United Methodists in the U.S. edged a simple major-ity for a stronger statement on inclusiveness in an almost evenly split UMC. This is the largest na-tional poll we’ve had for inclusion in The United Methodist Church at a grassroots level. It shows progress even against the usual backdrop of hate language and tactics. Is this the tipping point time?Building relationships through organizing makes a difference. In the annual conferences where the All Means All teams actively en-gaged fellow United Methodists, we did better. It is good discipleship to witness to our faith and hope for an

inclusive church. Some of our folks, who thought they were alone in con-servative areas, are now fi nding out

that they are not alone!We grew stronger as we expanded trainings from 22 to 35 annual con-ferences and grew from one trainer to seven trainers for All Means All. Now, we plan to launch 50 Believe Out Loud train-

ings in September with 14 trainers to continue growing the movement--this time at an even deeper grass-roots level. We welcome new lead-ers, LA McRae, Toyomi Yoshida, Gloria Soliz, Jim Robey, Michelle Blue, Ruben Herrera, Derrick Spiva, Rachel Harvey and Carl Davis.Each regional gathering of Recon-ciling United Methodists reveals miracles. The stories of passion and hope along with deep faithful com-mitment to justice inspire, motivate, challenge, and heal. When a survey of Protestant clergy shows that that

When a similar survey shows that both persons in the pews and persons in the pulpits are ready to move forward but that each is waiting on the other to say something, it is time to Believe Out Loud.
