Endorsements

The Consultation thanks the 83 candidates for the elected offices of our church who submitted endorsement application questionnaires to us. That’s also 83% of the total number running. We read them carefully and were inspired by the wide array of gifts and passions we found, making our endorsement process very difficult. With gratefulness to them all, we selected the following candidates whose commitment to social justice and skills for leadership seemed most likely to advance the mission of our church in the positions where they seek to serve.
