Reconciling Ministries Network has started the “It’s Time” campaign—which involves the United Methodist Church embracing its LGBTQ clergy and members—with a focus on the General Conference in May 2016 in Portland, Oregon.
The campaign is starting with a partnership with the documentary filmmakers behind An Act of Love, which tells the story of Rev. Frank Schaefer, who was defrocked in 2013 for officiating his son’s same-sex wedding. The network hopes to get help from donors in order to host more than 50 screenings nationwide leading up to General Conference.
The network has also created a Web page so that people across the country and around the globe can tell delegates directly that “It’s Time” for change. See RMNetwork.org.
