RMCSI is a brand new organization comprised of mostly Methodists, and a few agnostics, all somewhat older people. The intent of RMCSI is to remove the hate and fear language from the United Methodist Book of Discipline, and to help our local congregations rework themselves into the open and welcoming communities we believe they need to be.
