Pat Stewart
Pat Stewart (she/her/her) lives in Austin TX and is lay member of St. John's United Methodist Church. I feel like a native Austinite even though I am originally from Corpus Christi since I have lived here for more than 30 years. I have learned more about the Methodist Church in the last few years as an annual conference delegate. This is also where I learned about MFSA and realized the importance of social justice inside and outside the church. Through MFSA I have made connections with other like minded people who believe in valuing individual contributions, even though others may not be like yourself. I feel privileged to be part of the Racial Audit Task Force because it gives me a voice to speak my truth and listen to others' experiences. My hope for the Team comes from Galatians 6:9 - So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up.
