News / Opinion / Letters to the Editor We, United Methodist clergy in Clark County, rejoice at the actions taken recently by the United Methodist General Conference to more fully welcome and include all people to our churches, particularly the LGBTQ+ community. Ordination and marriage are now open to people of all gender identities, gender expressions and sexual orientations.

By Rev. Sue Ostrom, Mill Plain United Methodist Church of Christ, Vancouver Published: May 30, 2021, 6:05am I met Dave when he was assigned to our church as part of the Safe Park program for people living in their cars. For a year and a half, his car was the first thing I saw when I arrived at church in the morning, or the last thing when I left after an evening meeting. Often in the mornings, he was still asleep so I didn’t rouse him.
