OI RUMs, Oregon-Idaho Reconciling United Methodists

Donation Information

Since our May 2004 beginning, the Oregon-Idaho Reconciling United Methodists (OI RUMs) have been resourcing local churches with books and study papers, RMN connections, "My Child Is of Sacred Worth" badges, pink triangle cookies, and laity workshops to help congregations talk more about gender and inclusiveness issues.

We were present at the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference sessions in 2005 and 2006 through our Ministry Fair exhibits, Laity Workshops, Reconciling dinners, and display of Shalom Ministries' Silenced Witnesses.

We invite your presence and solicit your continued prayers for us to be open to hearing the right word and for our voices for justice to be heard.

Your financial support is also needed as we strive for a more open and welcoming UMC in Oregon and Idaho. Donations to cover the OI RUMs' expenses related to our presence at the Annual Conference session, mailings, and other support may be sent to:

        OI RUMs
        c/o Morningside UMC
        PO Box 3076
        Salem OR 97302-0076

Please make your check payable to MUMC, which provides our treasury service. On the "for" line of your check, be sure to indicate "OI RUMs" so your donation will be properly credited to our account.

Thank you!

Peace and progress,
Deborah Maria
