Lt. Dan Choi – Featured General Conference Speaker
Arabic Linguist. Iraq Vet. West Point Grad. Infantry Officer. Gay… Fired… And Fighting Back!
On March 19, 2009, Lt. Dan Choi, a West Point graduate and Iraq veteran fluent in Arabic, announced that he was gay on The Rachel Maddow Show. Because of three words – “I am gay” – Lt. Choi’s life changed forever. Despite his extreme value as an Arabic speaker able to communicate quickly and clearly with the Iraqi people, one month after his announcement Lt. Dan Choi was notified that the Army had begun discharge proceedings against him. He was one of only eight soldiers from his graduating class who majored in Arabic. Lt. Choi is committed to applying the leadership lessons he learned at West Point and being an inspiration to soldiers and veterans who feel isolated, alone, and even suicidal because the torment of rejection and discrimination. His leadership training taught him that soldiers cannot feel alone, especially in combat. Lt. Choi helped form Knights Out, an organization of West Point alumni advocating for the rights of gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military.

Imagine Partnership
The Fellowship and Bishop Yvette Flunder will not be holding their own annual conference, and instead, will confer with us by joining in on our activities, workshops, worship and so much more.
We will have a special plenary, “IMAGINING PARTNERSHIP,” in which we explore the emerging relationship between MCC and the Fellowship on a local and global level.
