Equality Maine Honors Gala

At the 40th anniversary gala for EqualityMaine Saturday, April 26, MCC Exec Dir Jane Field was honored with the Faith in Action Award. Expressing gratitude, she also noted she was “deeply humbled” to be recognized by Maine’s LGBTQ+ community, siblings who have been extraordinary in their bravery and steadfast insistence on justice, compassion, equity and inclusion, and who have been patient beyond measure waiting for the non-LGBTQ+ community to finally show up, stand up, and speak up with and for them. In reflecting on past recipients of the award, Rev. Dr. Marvin Ellison and former MCC E.D. Rev. Jill Saxby, Field said, “I’m walking in the footsteps of giants.”
