Our journey towards becoming an Affirming Church

8/4/2022

For over ten years our community has played with the idea of officially becoming an "Affirming church" registered with Affirm United. We believe that in practice, we are already affirming people in their individual journeys and identities, however becoming officially an Affirming church would make our commitment Public, Intentional and Explicit. Since in the past the required vote and 75% endorsement by a congregation has led to strife and division in some communities of faith, our church was perhaps (too?) careful and a bit afraid to have that vote earlier. However we have done in the meantime a lot of work, and our "Affirm team" is now ready. Have a look at our journey below, and pray for a good outcome on May 1st, 2022.
