Diversity Statement

ECWR holds diversity and inclusivity as core values of the organization. We welcome everyone regardless of race, age, ethnicity, physical ability, gender, sexual orientation, social economic standing, or church affiliation. As Christians inclusion is an integral element of our theology and what we believe God purposed the church to do in this world. The inclusiveness of God’s love is evident in the life of Jesus and a foundational principle throughout the gospels.

Guiding Principles of Diversity

The Board of Directors adopted the following Guiding Principles of Diversity to insure ECWR is open and affirming to all people. It is our missions to provide a safe place to everyone in “all the ways we are similar and all the ways we differ”.
 
  1. Be intentional about diversity. Diversity doesn’t just happen. It requires conscious thought and action. ECWR is committed to holding diversity and inclusiveness as a priority.
  2. Make diversity and inclusion institutional values. Diversity is an integral part of our identity and reflected in all aspects of our corporate lives together.
  3. Educate our members on the foundational principles of inclusion. Many of our member’s experience with organized religion are the opposite of inclusion. Many were marginalized and even cast out of religious communities because of who we are. That hurt if left unhealed can perpetuate discrimination. ECWR’s mission is to create a safe place for people to heal from the hurt of rejection and embrace the inclusive nature of Jesus.
