To: Mayor and City commissioners of Bozeman,
l support the establishment of a Non-Discrimination Ordinance in this community.
I support the rights of all people and families to live in peace and afforded equal protections under the
law. As a follower of the teachings of Jesus Christ, and from personal experience, I support this to
include protections for people of differing sexuality and alternatively formed families.
If this ordinance is passed, I predict with certainty that that traditionally structured families will continue
to form and prosper,the world will go on, and the sun will rise tomorrow. Working for peace and justice
makes the best of human endeavor, as stated for millennia.
May the peace of God be with us,
Rev.Jim Shelden
