We are: called, commissioned, and ordained clergy of the United Methodist Church in ministry throughout the connection; called to fulfill our roles as servant-leaders according to the Book of Discipline (UMC BOD ¶ 305, ¶ 328 & ¶ 340); called to be prophetic agents of redemption of theology and Christian teaching; called to be prophetic agents of personal and corporal faithfulness and healing in order to embody justice, loving-kindness and walking humbly with our God (Micah 6:8); called to solidarity with one another, clergy and laity– especially those who have been alienated, excluded, charged, dismissed, or otherwise disenfranchised by the harmful policies and practices of the UMC.
