<p>DignityUSAs Board of Directors is thrilled to announce the Chartering of<strong> Dignity/Baltimore</strong> under the leadership of Al Risdorfer a longtime member of Dignity/Washington and a priest with the Catholic Apolstolic Church in North America. The previous Baltimore Chapter folded in the 1990s.</p><p><span style=background-color: transparent;>Dignity/Baltimore will be run in conjunction with the CACINA parish of </span><strong style=background-color: transparent;>Our Lady Undoer of Knots</strong><span style=background-color: transparent;>. Al &nbsp;said As the newest of the 18 parishes within CACINA (the Catholic Apostolic Church in North America) Our&nbsp;Lady Undoer of&nbsp;Knots parish takes to heart Christs mandate to build the church. We do this by providing a welcoming affirming loving non-judgmental active and yet very Catholic community for everyone seeking to build a deep loving relationship with God and neighbor.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style=background-color: transparent;>We particularly seek out disinvited disaffected and disenchanted Catholics among whom are women seeking an equal voice&nbsp;in the Church including ministerial roles; those who are divorced and seeking the sacraments; married folks wanting ministerial roles; former clergy who want to minister again - and of course members of the LGBTQI community.</span></p>[caption align=right]<img src='https://www.dignityusa.org/sites/default/files/thumbnail_image002.png'>[/caption]<p>We reach out by direct evangelization networking and social media but also by building deep connections and collaborative relationships with communities who strive and think as we do. Given that several of our parishioners are members of DigntyUSA and past members of local chapters and being painfully aware that DignityUSA has not had a chapter in Baltimore the&nbsp;first and oldest&nbsp;diocese in the US for over 30 years we thought resurrecting Dignitys presence here would be an inspired thing to do.</p><p><strong>Join us in embracing our new Chapter and members!
