Our stories create the doors that open hearts and minds. They invite conversations rather than debate. Our stories help guide us toward understanding and create paths to greater awareness, compassion and advocacy. Stories help us become better listeners. They offer the possibility of transformation. Whatever the outcome, stories are a gift to be shared.
A recent Reconciling Ministries Network (RMN) email stated that its Executive Director, Jan Lawrence, will be retiring on April 30, 2026. “This moment is held with deep gratitude for her faithful, courageous leadership and the lasting impact she has made on RMN and the wider Church. In Episode 5, Jan reflects on her leadership, the growth of the movement, and the hope that continues to guide this work forward.”
