Melville is on the path to becoming a recognized Affirming Ministry.
Affirming Ministries work in many different ways toward the healing and wholeness of creation:
- challenging bias and discrimination based on appearance, culture, class, or age;
- working to end racism;
- promoting economic justice;
- increasing accessibility;
- caring for the planet.
“To be Affirming is to be on a journey for greater justice and compassion for all the earth.”
Melville is a congregation within the United Church of Canada.
