New Statement – Getting to the Mixed Economy
Outcome and Dignity and Worth are pleased to launch our new statement. It outlines our vision of a pathway to enabling equal marriage in the Methodist Church as quickly as possible, whilst safeguarding the consciences of those who wish to refrain from doing so. We need a ‘Mixed Economy’ for our church, and we need to as soon as possible!
