About Bishop Flunder
Bishop Flunder founded the City of Refuge United Church of Christ in 1991 in San Francisco, a congregation that “welcomes people to be who they are by embracing a theology of acceptance — a radical inclusivity that leaves no one behind.” An ordained minister in the United Church of Christ, with masters and doctorate degrees in Ministry from the Pacific School of Religion and the San Francisco Theological Seminary, Bishop Flunder is also the Presiding Bishop of The Fellowship of Affirming Ministries, a multi-denominational fellowship of more than 56 churches and faith-based organizations from around the world.
Bishop Flunder has been especially dedicated to serving the needs of those living with AIDS/HIV, working with her staff to launch several residential houses and programs serving people in recovery and living with HIV, as well as HIV/AIDS education and prevention services, and medical care. She is the author of Where the Edge Gathers: A Theology of Homiletic Radical Inclusion, published by Pilgrim Press. In addition to her memorable sermons, Bishop Flunder is also known for her beautiful singing voice, made famous through her gospel recordings with Walter Hawkins and the Family, the City of Refuge Choir and Chanticleer.
