Solidarity Statement
V&M is committed to intersectional solidarity, including racial justice, LGBTQ+ liberation, gender justice, and ecological flourishing, and other movements for liberation. All three of our core values call us to these commitments.
- Deep Listening reminds us that we only have a slice of the truth, and calls us to learn from others, especially those whose voices have been historically marginalized.
- Creative Liberation reminds us that God is on the side of the oppressed, and calls us to throw off our yokes and take risky stands in solidarity with others throwing off theirs.
- Radical Hospitality reminds us that the Divine is present in others and calls us to the ongoing work of deconstructing privilege and growing in mutuality.
