Reconciling Ministries Network
Welcome, Ophelia!
Ophelia received her BA from Amherst College and her MBA from the Yale School of Management. Although she grew up in a family of agnostics, she became a Christian in college and has worked ever since to understand what that means. To RMN, she brings her problem-framing skills, her zeal to translate what is beyond words, and her insistent hope for justice in and through the body of Christ.
Ophelia believes that we inherit from our divine source the ability to co-author and co-build the kin-dom of God. She and her wife tend www.QueeringTheKindom.com.
We are also grateful for the work of Brett Roes, former Communications Associate. Brett has been appointed as a full-time pastor at a United Methodist Church in Rapid City, South Dakota, and we are proud of their response to the Spirit’s call.

MARCHA Call to Action
The United States’ “zero tolerance” policy announced in May by Attorney General Jeff Sessions has caused a sharp increase in family separation. Now, over 10,000 children are being held by the U.S. government without their parents.Our partners at MARCHA (Metodistas Asociados Representando la Causa Hispano Americana) have delivered a critical call to action to our bishops, general agencies and commissions, local churches, and all of us - wherever we are.
