New logo features an expanded

and inclusive beloved community.

“We thrive in the margins” is a way to show commitment, voice and support to our neighbors, family members, and friends who live in the margins. The Rt. Rev. Phyllis Spiegel unveiled the new logo at the diocesan convention on April 21st. The bishop and church are advocating for those identifying as LGBTQIA, people facing racial oppression, those who have witnessed discriminatory practices and punitive transgender laws and people living in poverty. The logo also features environmental crisis issues that are being highlighted in her episcopate.
