end misuse of scripture and religion to discriminate against God’s LGBTQ children.”
Chuck Phelan, Chair of the Board of SOULFORCE said, “As SOULFORCE transitions from its
entrepreneurial stage of development, we are delighted to have Dr. Love in this crucial position
of leadership. She brings a unique sensitivity to the issues facing both the gay rights and civil
rights movements. She fully embraces the essential need to engage people in understanding
the intersectionality of oppression, particularly within the context of organized religion and its
contributions to institutionalized and systemic racism, heterosexism, classism and sexism.”
Rev. Gil Caldwell, member of the SOULFORCE Advisory Board, said, “I am convinced as never
before that the nation, faith community and beyond needs SOULFORCE! The alienation
between and among persons for racial, gender, sexual orientation, political, religious, regional,
class, age and other reasons is as great today as I have seen in my 76 years. I am thrilled to
hear that Soulforce is committed to challenge anti-black racism as an important component of
the fulfillment of its mission. We welcome Rev. Dr. Love to this work and to our SOULFORCE
community of activists." Rev. Caldwell is a retired United Methodist Minister who participated in
the "Mississippi Freedom Summer” of 1964, the Selma to Montgomery March in 1965, and the
March on Washington.
