Our keynote preacher will be Bishop Yvette Flunder
senior pastor of City of Refuge United Church of Christ in San Francisco.

Bishop Flunder is also founder of “The Fellowship” a national ministry of “radical inclusivity.” Below are a few of her comments at their fantastic national conference June 29-July 1, 2006 in Phoenix, which CLOUT National Coordinator, Rev. Jan Griesinger was privileged to attend.

Stop explaining yourselves.  The mainstream will learn from the radical inclusivity of the margins. Look for those who are most marginalized and serve them on purpose.  With respect to a common cup at communion, let people with HIV drink first, as others are a greater danger to them. Name who is “everyone who is welcome; write it in your program. If you make change gradually you just empower the people who dont want to change. Youve got to make people grow and expect that theyll get angry. As long as we placate, the deep pockets will hold hostage your ministry.
