RECONCILING MINISTRIES NETWORK

2010 ANNUAL REPORT

Reconciling Ministries Network, along with Methodist Federation for Social Action and A rmation, invite you to join the energy building for our combined mission trip to Tampa, Florida in April of 2012 for the next international legislative session of our church, General Conference. This is a once-every-four-year opportunity to alter our rules of life as United Methodists. At Sing A New Song, RMN, MFSA, and A rmation launched Love Your Neighbor, a grassroots and legislative organizing campaign to develop relationships with delegates to General Conference via one-on-one phone calls and meetings, including RMNs rst ever international strategy with Central Conference delegates. We mobilized every Sing A New Song participant and made over 650 phone calls to General Conference delegates in less than 10 minutes (pictured right)! It was incredibly exciting! Together we will build relationships with our elected delegates, o er resources for justice decisions for our denomination, and provide support for a vibrant United Methodist future.

Gaining Ground
In a year marked by bullying, RMN gained ground by spreading the Good News of Gods inclusive love of people of all sexual orientations and gender identities by growing its grassroots leadership: Facilitated 36 regional trainings, producing 786 Believe Out Loud Disciples Organized, promoted, and recruited more than 70 Reconciling United Methodist organizers to attend a Believe Out Loud Power Summit of more than 500 ecumenical partners

Our Gratitude
RMN is deeply grateful for the generosity of the individuals, classes, foundations, congregations, and communities that have supported its mission through their prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness.

Believe Out Loud House Gatherings

In 2010, nearly 800 Believe Out Loud Disciples invited people into their homes and shared stories with friends and neighbors of why they believe in an all-inclusive church. These personal gatherings laid the foundation for the Reconciling Movement to take action in Love Your Neighbor, a grassroots and legislative organizing campaign to transform our church into a place of reconciliation and healing for all.
