After the 2013 Disciples of Christ General Assembly, the church has released a resolution stating that the church is committed to welcoming all to their congregations. Titled “Becoming a People of Grace and Welcome to All,” resolution GA-1327 states that Disciples of Christ, “a movement for wholeness in a fragmented world,” has been called to welcome others as they feel they have been welcomed by God.

A new video posted by the denomination explains that any member who is a member of one of their congregations is welcomed as a member of the church as a whole.

In order to clarify the purpose of the resolution, the video explains that both conservative members of the church and LGBT members have reported that they do now always feel welcome.

The point of the resolution is to not to “accept one group at the detriment of another,” but to welcome all to the church.
