AUSTRALIAN MISSION CENTRE LEGISLATION TO BE BROUGHT TO THE COMMUNITY OF CHRIST WORLD CONFERENCE 2010

Resolution passed at the Special Mission Conference via Phone and Video link

22 November 2009

AMCC 2009-1: A Request to the First Presidency that Ordinations be Authorized regardless of Sexual Orientation

Whereas, The Community of Christ has affirmed repeatedly that individuals are called by God according to their giftedness (Doctrine and Covenants 119:8b; 156:9b-c and WCR 1226 Affirmation of Human Diversity), and

Whereas, Some members of the church are being denied opportunity to serve in priesthood specifically because of their sexual orientation even when a call has been discerned by the appropriate leaders,

Therefore be it

Resolved, That this World Conference ask the First Presidency to consider allowing for the ordination of individuals regardless of their sexual orientation in those jurisdictions of the church where such priesthood calls are received, or have been received and duly processed and approved by the appropriate leaders and where such ordinations are accepted by the will of the congregation, and/ or Mission Centre, or World Conference.
