Final call for nominations for Council leadership
With a July 15 deadline for submissions, AllianceQ – the Disciples LGBTQ+ Alliance is seeking nominations for Council leadership.
In a message from your moderators, Luther Young and Alysha Laperche write, “The AllianceQ Council is continuing our commitment to intersectional justice. Over the past few months, we have been taking inventory of the organization, celebrating the places where we have grown, and identifying the areas that still need work. As we move forward in our efforts, we are excited to begin the process of electing new members to join the Council.”
Qualified candidates will understand the history of and vision for our ministry. A demonstrated commitment to justice for vulnerable groups will enhance how we can live into our mission to build a just, inclusive church.
AllianceQ is especially seeking ally voices and generational representation.
