Broadening our definition of membership: BPFnA ~ Bautistas por la Paz introduces a new membership structure T he board and staff of BPFNA ~ Bautistas por la Paz have been thinking a lot about what it means to be a member of this organization, and as a result, we have developed a new membership structure to be more inclusive and welcoming to all in our network. This new structure includes non-monetary contributions people can make to become members of BPFNA ~ Bautistas por la Paz. While we do largely rely on individual and organizational donations to support our work of peace rooted in justice, we also welcome and celebrate the many ways people can participate in the shared work of peacemaking. For those able to make a financial contribution, we have also increased our suggested membership dues for the first time in several years. This increase supports our expanding peacemaking programs. our expenses are going up, yet we welcome and appreciate your giving at any level that makes sense for you. visit our new membership page at www. bpfna.org/join to learn more about these changes. P.S. we have also created a new section on our website devoted to highlighting the peacework of our incredible members (www. bpfna.org/members).
