Community of Christ President Steve Veazey continues The Way Forward video series with “God’s Kind of Justice.” |

This is not a new topic. However, there are many questions to explore. Please visit the Community of Christ Peace & Justice webpage for additional information. |

June is Pride month. In Community of Christ, we affirm the worth of ALL persons, find unity in our diversity, and continue to advocate for peace and equality. You are loved!
We do our best to uphold these principles as a faithful response to our heritage and our continuing experience with God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
Our Enduring Principles, such as Worth of All Persons and Unity in Diversity define the essence, heart, and soul of Community of Christ as expressed throughout the world.

“From the earliest days you have been given a sacred principle that declares the inestimable worth of all persons. Do not forget. The One who created all humankind grieves at the shameful divisions within the human family. A prophetic people must work tirelessly to tear down walls of separation and to build bridges of understanding. You hold precious lives in your hands. Be gentle and gracious with one another. A community is no stronger than the weakest within it. Even as the One you follow reached out to those who were rejected and marginalized, so must the community that bears his name.” D&C 162:6

Using Howard Thurman’s poem How Wonderful as a starting point, Tyler encourages us to celebrate the wonderful things found in life … including our LGBTQIA+ family, friends, and community. What better way than this to kick off PRIDE month while listening for God’s call in your life?

In this episode which originally aired as a live event on May 6, 2024, they sit down with co-hosts Linda Stanbridge and Blake Smith to talk about their journey. The lessons they learned … the roadblocks they encountered … and the blessings they continue to experience as a result of doing the hard work of engaging Harmony’s Welcoming and Affirming Program. Listen in, and find out how they are finding ways to truly live the Mission Prayer and several of Community of Christ’s Enduring Principles.
