Hebrews 13:5
"Welcome the stranger who comes to your door for some have entertained angels."
The community at the Church of the Transfiguration extends a special welcome to those who are single, married, divorced, gay, filthy rich, dirt poor, yo no habla Ingles. We extend a special welcome to those who are crying new-borns, blew all your offering money at the dog track, you’re welcome here. We welcome those who think the earth is flat, work too hard, don’t work, can’t spell, or because grandma is in town and wanted to go to church.
We welcome those who are inked, pierced or both. We offer a special welcome to those who could use a prayer right now, had religion shoved down your throat as a kid or got lost in traffic and wound up here by mistake. We welcome tourists, seekers and doubters, bleeding hearts …and you!
What is Radical Welcome?
Radical welcome is first and foremost a spiritual practice. It combines the Christian ministry of welcome and hospitality with a faithful commitment to doing the theological, spiritual and systemic work to eliminate historic, systemic barriers that limit the genuine embrace of groups generally marginalized in mainline churches (young adults, the poor, LGBT people, people of color, people with disabilities).
What makes a church Radically Welcoming?
Radically welcoming churches understand that each group brings gifts and perspectives that help the whole congregation to fulfill God’s dream and purpose. These churches seek to embrace everyone’s voices, presence and power, with a special commitment to embracing groups who have been defined as The Other
