Sanctuary Everywhere

We as the Oregon – Idaho Conference and the Greater Northwest Area of the United Methodist Church, can find ways to create spaces and moments where everyone can breathe safely together; to bring our fears and brokenness before our Creator, and to know that we are all beloved children of God. There are times when some congregations have or will declare themselves a Sanctuary and people living in the church building. However, that is not the only way to respond and it is not the most often needed way.
