The Institute for Welcoming Resources has just released the completely updated version of “Building an Inclusive Church: A Welcoming Toolkit.” The document builds upon the work of many colleagues in the ecumenical welcoming church programs, and is the foundation for BIC workshops. Whether you’re already a welcoming church or just starting to consider what that might mean for your congregation’s ministry, we invite you to explore this wonderful resource (a free download!), and then think about attending a BIC training in order to fully integrate the steps and resources that are outlined in the Toolkit.
