Open and Affirming Declaration
On September 9,2007 the congregation passed this
declaration.
St. John’s United Church of Christ, Glenmont, Ohio,
as members of the Body of Christ, believe as scripture
speaks that”…in Christ there is no longer Jew nor
Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for all are
one…” (Galatians 3:28)
In the spirit of Paul’s words in Galatians, we
recognize, celebrate, and give thanks for the diversity
in which God created us, each in God’s image and
loved by God. We deplore the continuing injustice of
institutionalized discrimination, instances of senseless
violence and denial of human rights based on sexual
orientation. The Church is called to confront
discrimination, to oppose violence and to advocate for
human rights for all persons.
With this declaration we remember God’s promise
spoken through the prophet Hosea, “I will show love
to those who were called ‘not my people’-I will say
‘you are my people’, and they will answer ‘you are our
God’. (Hosea 2:23) As such, we declare ourselves to
be an Open and Affirming Congregation; therefore
with God’s grace, we seek to be a congregation that
includes all persons, embracing differences of sexual
orientation, gender, marital status, age, mental and
physical ability, as well as racial, ethnic, or social-
economic background. We welcome all to share in
God’s blessing and grace. For no matter who you are,
or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome
here.
