BMC Vision Statement
To Form Community:
- By embracing our Anabaptist heritage
- By forging an inclusive organization and environment
- By reaching out and inviting in those who share
similar concerns, and by building alliances for the
years ahead
- By providing a graced safe place of caring, support
and healing for all persons; and by affirming our
sexuality, our diversity, and our humanity
- By remembering and celebrating those who with
courage and conviction have gone before us
To Nurture Our Spirituality:
- By validating our present experiences
- By being open to our own authentic faith/spiritual
journeys, and accepting the strengths and values of our
spiritual heritage
- By claiming our spiritual giftedness
- By respecting the right of opinion and faithfulness
of all persons, without denying our own beliefs
To Be Prophetic:
- By advocating issues of justice on behalf of all
lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people, being in
dialogue with the larger denominational community, and
by collaborating with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and
transgender groups of other denominations
- By acknowledging the connection between heterosexism
and social justice issues such as racism, sexism and
classism
- By reclaiming the power that is ours and that we
have, in the past, given to our denominations
- By envisioning and living out Shalom
