An Open Letter to the Mennonite Church USA

People who are pastors or have ministered within the Mennonite Church have been called to sign an open letter advocating for change within the sect. The letter argues against the exclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people and talks of the inclusive and the hospitable nature of Jesus. It goes on to argue that by denying LGBT people, the Church has lost sight of the Gospel.

Anyone can sign onto the petition, but obviously people in positions of leadership hold the most weight.
