The Open Minds Class affirms Jesus' example and teachings to love God and love others as you love yourself.
       We are an open and welcoming group that seeks to lead lives as Jesus led his, knowing the need for social awareness, peace with justice, and environmental stewardship.
       We recognize there are differences among us, but believe we can love without reservation even though we may not think alike.
       As such, we welcome and accept all persons regardless of race, faith, ethnicity, education, age, abilities, economic status, sexual orientation or gender identity.
