The initial mission of the committee will include education and assistance toward the adoption of policies, structures and materials which dismantle our own participation in oppression based on class, race, age, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation and ability. A second step will be to develop strategic initiatives and materials using graceful engagement from within to further the acceptance of people of all sexual orientations and gender identities in all Lutheran communities, including communities of color. To engage at the intersection of oppressions requires intentionality, firm resolve and dedication to introspection, outreach beyond the comfort of affinity groups, and transformation of our own organization, our church and our world.
