Long time readers of fMh have probably noticed that we have been in something of a slump. We’ve been experiencing tons of transitions right along with everyone else, big changes at Church, in the United States, and in our personal lives. It’s been intense.

For over a decade fMh has been a home and a family to many of us, a place where we felt our voices could be heard and we could be in community when there were few places where we fit. And we have weathered a lot of growing pains in the midst of almost countless transitions, the internet is changing, the world is changing, the church is changing, and we are changing, and in thick of those lessons we’ve become bogged down in old paradigms and old systems and in our own privileged blindness, and thus we’ve decided that it’s time for a drastic change of direction.

We are taking short sabbatical, maybe two months, (expect us to re-launch in February) to hammer out the changes, to recruit talent, to create content, maybe we’ll get a facelift. We’ll see.

Our tag line will be changing from “A Safe Place to be Feminist and Faithful” to “Preaching Christ’s Message of Radical Inclusion.” Which feels more in line with where we are, and who we aspire to be. We want to focus on inclusion, compassion, and creating a culture of “calling in”.

Kalani and I talk about these changes in this video (the action starts at about the 1 minute mark, still figuring out this fb live thing!)
