To the Beloved People of MCC,
 
Thank you for feedback on Parts 1 and 2 of the Listening Tour report. Volunteers are still translating those reports into Spanish, Portuguese, and German and will be released when completed.

The Listening Tour report intends to help realize benefits and overcome challenges experienced by many within MCC during this time of transition. It is my hope that Part 3, “Path Forward,” is the first step towards the important work needed for transformational ministry and leadership. This report describes ways in which various MCC leadership bodies have begun to engage in the information received from the Listening Tour. It includes examples of programs, projects, and/or pilots that began earlier and have been adapted, based on the discoveries from the Listening Tour, in addition to other vital work just started.
 
The Listening Tour Webinar is 19 April 2018, at 4:30 pm EDT (8:30 pm UTC).
It is my prayer that we hear one another and what the Spirit is saying to the churches. 

If you have comments on this report or difficulty accessing it, please contact Jack Hutter, Assistant to the Interim Moderator, at JackHutter@MCCchurch.net.

Many blessings to you and all of MCC,

Rev. Elder Rachelle Brown 
Interim Moderator, Metropolitan Community Churches
