Reconciling in Christ (RIC)

The Greater Milwaukee Synod of the ELCA celebrates and values each person as formed in the image of God. We seek to follow Jesus by sharing God’s all-encompassing love that invites all people into God’s Beloved Community. We embrace diversity, work toward healing where there has been harm, pursue racial equity, and strive for justice for the LGBTQIA+ community. 

 

We welcome and affirm all people of every race, age, socioeconomic class, culture, sexual and romantic orientation, gender identity and expression, disability, neurotype, relationship status, citizenship and immigration status, background, and experience. 

 

As a Reconciling in Christ (RIC) Synod, we commit ourselves to ongoing education, honest reflection and growth, and the compassion and courage to act. We walk with rostered ministers, leaders, and worshiping communities as we work to embrace each person’s voice, gifts, and full participation in our synod’s life and ministry. We ask God’s Spirit to guide us in living out the ministry of reconciliation. 

A Brief History of the Greater Milwaukee Synod Reconciling in Christ Ministry Team

 

In June 2006, several synod leaders, both lay and ordained, met in preparation for opposing the ban on civil unions and same-sex marriage in the state of Wisconsin. In November 2006, the Reconciling in Christ Ministry Team became a recognized ministry team by the Greater Milwaukee Synod Council. Since then, the Greater Milwaukee Synod Reconciling in Christ Ministry Team has continued to work for the equality and full inclusion of people of all sexual/affectional orientations and gender identities within the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
