Our Commitment to
Social Justice
The Region for the Holy Margins recognizes that the movement for the ordination of women and peoples of all genders is based on the Holy Spirit's call to all, not just men, and it is also more than being ordained.
​
Ordination is one step in creating a renewed church and world where people of all genders and ethnicities are fully dignified. In our region this work includes focusing on anti-racism work, supporting immigrants, lifting up the rights of the LGBTQ advocacy and more.
