The Simpson College Board of Trustees has voted to affiliate the College with Reconciling Ministries Network, a nonprofit organization seeking the inclusion of all sexual orientations and gender identities in both the policy and practices of the United Methodist Church. Simpson President Marsha Kelliher said in a statement:
“Our connection with Reconciling Ministries Network allows us to better articulate our campus values of welcome and inclusion as a United Methodist-affiliated college,” said President Marsha Kelliher. “This decision allows us to embrace our strong history with the United Methodist Church while continuing to create an inclusive community that values and respects all individual identities.”
Simpson is the third United Methodist affiliated-college or university in the country to align with RMN. Union College in Kentucky and Hamline University in Minnesota are the others. Find more information with this story on KNIAKRLS.com.
