Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Justice (EDI-J)
The vision, mission, and values of St. Stephen’s College lead us to work for justice, belonging, and wholeness in language and practice for all persons, respecting diversity of ability, ethnicity, faith tradition, worldview, gender identity, and sexual orientation. We recognize the challenges facing our faith communities, our society, and our world, and we endeavor to dissolve the barriers to deep spiritual reflection and study caused by homophobia, transphobia, sexism, xenophobia, racism, and other forms of intolerance, discrimination, and hate. We strive to create a safe, welcoming, and accessible space, within a climate of respect and trust, for all people to be open and honest regarding their life experiences.
