The Reconciling Ministries Clergy is comprised of persons called to ordained ministry within the United Methodist Church who summon the church to a deeper level of spiritual and theological integrity in relationship to persons of all sexual orientations and gender identities and their full inclusion in all aspects of the church's life.
The network is dedicated to active forms of teaching, organizing, strategizing, resistance and support for one another to help the church become more faithful to the radical love of Christ.

Chett Pritchett wears many hats as a self-proclaimed “in-betweener.” A graduate of Wesley Theological Seminary, he is a manager for Cokesbury Bookstores and is the Minister to Students and Young Adults at The United Church (UCC/UMC) in Washington, DC. He is a perpetual candidate for ministry in the Baltimore-Washington Conference of the United Methodist Church. For five years, Chett was one of the conveners of MoSAIC (Methodist Students for an All-Inclusive Church). MoSAIC and RMN helped him hear his call to ministry with young adults on the edge of both Church and society.
