Gender Justice
We recognize that gender equity is something for which we must fight.
In more extreme, but tragically all-too common cases, gender-based violence takes place. Unfortunately, the Church has not always supported victims/survivors of gender-based violence and we have not always held perpetrators accountable.
We will strive to do better.
If you or someone you know has experienced any form of gender-based violence, we see you, we believe you, and we are here for you.
