Becoming a Reconciling in Christ Synod entails extending a public welcome to and affirmation of people of all sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, as well as a commitment to anti-racism in the policies, practices, and advocacy of our synod. In order to discover if the Northeastern Minnesota Synod is ready to make these commitments, the Welcome and Reconciling ministry team will hold a quarterly gatherings in each of the five conferences of our synod. These gatherings will include discussion, education, and resourcing. See Becoming RIC Synod Info Sessions
