Social Justice
As members of the United Methodist Church, we can proudly say we celebrate Pride and stand against continued oppression of our LGBTQIA+ siblings no matter what form or what institution it comes from. That is what being an ally is after all. It is making a commitment to use our resources to protect and serve those who find themselves in unjust positions.
As long as we at Sewickley United Methodist Church continue to profess the good news of Jesus Christ, we will live out our faith by fighting against systems of oppression starting with our own hearts. We will not be on the side of history that repeats itself and continues to benefit from the dehumanization of our black brothers and sisters.
