Statement of Welcome
The Fellowship of United Methodists in Music and Worship Arts is a community of diverse worship artists who are not of one mind on a wide range of theological and cultural issues. We acknowledge that we have been blessed by the gifts and presence of a variety of people. We covenant to uphold the sacred worth and dignity of all persons, without exception. We welcome all into membership and leadership in The Fellowship, including:
-
persons with divergent theological and political convictions, even as we seek to emphasize our connectedness and unity in Christ;
-
persons of all races, cultures, ethnicities, and socioeconomic conditions;
-
persons at all places on the spectrum of sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression;
-
persons of various ages and life experiences, and persons who are differently abled.
Christ made no mistake in opening the table of grace to everyone. Therefore, our membership and its leaders commit to embrace one another with boundless compassion and affirmation so that the reign of God might be made known “on earth as it is in heaven.”
