MoSAIC began in May of 1996 at the United Methodist Student Forum in Oklahoma City. A group of college student participants were aggrieved by the decision of the Forum not to encourage the national church assembly to strike homophobic language from church law. In response, several students gathered to create a national student coalition and network in support of ministry inclusive of all people.
MoSAIC affirms diversity, sexuality, spirituality, and activism. We seek to be present in the Methodist community as a reconciling, affirming and spirit-moving force. Christ's love empowers us to extend his ministry and inclusivity among all members of the Body of Christ.
"These Are Our Stories" is part of the MoSAIC witness to the 2008 General Conference of the United Methodist Church. We will feature a new story at Generalconference2008.org each Monday leading up to General Conference. Here is Caleb's story:

Caleb,
Thanks for sharing your story. I was moved by it and I love this idea for a project. I can't wait to see future stories by our youth and young adults.
Peace with Justice.
