MCC and The Fellowship Churches Form Historic Partnership: National Office Opens in Atlanta

On September 11, 2007, with the backdrop of 9-11 as catalyst, the leadership of The Fellowship Churches (www.radicallyinclusive.com), a national U.S. trans-denominational fellowship of primarily African-American Christian leaders working for radical inclusivity, and Metropolitan Community Churches (www.MCCchurch.org ), the world's largest and oldest Christian denomination with a primary, affirming ministry to lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgender individuals, gathered at DaySpring Conference Center in Florida to declare solidarity and commit to work in unity.

To this end The Fellowship Churches and MCC's Region 2 are excited to announce that they will share office space together in Atlanta, Georgia. The Fellowship's Presiding Bishop, Rev. Yvette Flunder and MCC's Region 2 Elder, Rev. Jim Mitulski are long time friends, colleagues and social activists who have worked side by side for many years to promote radical inclusion, justice and liberation for all of God's people. To have them working together in the Atlanta region, along with local faith leaders, will help ensure that the mutual goals of this historic partnership are met.
