Judicial Council Affirms Schaefer Reinstatement

"I bring you great news: the Judicial Council has affirmed the reinstatement of Rev. Frank Schaefer to ordained ministry in the United Methodist Church! This is a win for not only Frank and the movement, but truly for the entire church. The UMC has taken a step on the journey toward justice in the reinstatement of Rev. Frank Schaefer, but still has a long way to go to reconcile with God's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer children whose desire is to stay in love with God and one another." Matt Berryman, RMN Executive Director
