Faith In Pieces | Reconciling Ministries Network Conversation With Rev. Julia Riley

In this episode of Faith in Pieces, we continue our series of conversations offering resources and perspective as Mosaic discerns alignment with the Reconciling Ministries Network. Pastor Shuler sits down with Rev. Julia Riley, Co-Pastor at Central United Methodist Church and Co-Chair of the conference RMN board. Julia shares her experience serving in a Reconciling congregation, her role supporting LGBTQ-centered ministry, and the ways RMN continues its work through clarity, connection, and education in a changing denominational and cultural landscape. Together, they explore why clarity matters for churches seeking to be truly welcoming, how connectional relationships strengthen ministry, and how educational resources help congregations grow into safer, more faithful spaces. Julia also offers encouragement for the road ahead, reflecting on the joy and transformation that come when churches choose to make room for those who have long been waiting to belong. This episode is offered as a resource to support thoughtful discernment, faithful conversation, and continued growth as Mosaic prepares for its vote.
