Annual Conference Reconciling Coffee House

Join us ?? (stay tuned for 2012 details), as Annual Conference members and friends gather for this yearly event. The OI RUMs are doing a new thing -- sponsoring a coffee house. Come to hear (or tell) stories of inclusion (or exclusion) and sing songs of justice, mercy, and love. Be with friends...make new friends...over coffee and tea.

Safe Spaces for Sharing our Stories: A Reconciling Retreat!

Safe Spaces for Sharing our Stories: A Reconciling Retreat!
September 21 - 23, 2012
Suttle Lake UM Camp, Sisters OR

This jurisdiction-wide camping retreat is co-sponsored by Oregon-Idaho Camping and Retreat Ministries and Reconciling United Methodists. It will provide gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning persons, and their friends, families, and allies, a safe space to tell their stories of struggle and hope.  With a theme of "Sharing Our Stories," there will be opportunities for sharing and listening, making new friends, and for finding solidarity and empathy as people of diverse sexual orientations; there will be time for outdoor fun and spiritual renewal.
