Our dream is that every gathering of people of faith would be fully LGBTQ+ affirming. Until the dream is reality we will love & lobby for change.

BREAKING NEWS

Our YouGov survey reports what many of us have known for some time - that those in favour of same sex marriage in the Church of England and the nation far out number those against, with only a third of Anglicans now against.

Good Christian friends, rejoice,
With heart and soul and voice;
Now ye need not fear the grave:
Jesus Christ was born to save!
Calls you one and calls you all,
To gain His everlasting hall.
Christ was born to save!
Christ was born to save!

There is no biblical or theological case to support the claim that critics of Donald Trump are under the spell of Satan. It is invented out of thin air, a shallow, wild, and reckless charge meant to be a conversation stopper.

Room for short,
And room for tall.
Tell me, how is there
Room for all?
Here is the secret
To making rooms great
We refuse to ever
Make room for hate.

@annatoccara Thank you.

[Nicole Brown (she/her) @cprsmum]

@PeteWilcox1564 @opensheffield1 I understand the sadness. Completely.

I know this is issued after much thought, conversation and prayer.

'Issued with sadness.'

Received with gratitude and a huge amount of respect.

Thank you.

[opensheffield @opensheffield1]

@PeteWilcox1564 Humble and generous. Thank you + Pete.

[Russell Goulbourne @FrenchProfessor]

@PeteWilcox1564 A powerful defence of humility and generosity. Thank you.

[Barry Naylor ن @KaJuror]

@PeteWilcox1564 Thank you very much. I understand the sadness - it is never easy taking action like this in regard to another Christian. Your decision is, however, greatly welcomed by those of us who find ourselves constantly attacked by Mr Graham.

[Nel Shallow @shallow_nel]

@PeteWilcox1564 Bless you for taking such a brave and profound stand.

[Sibylle Batten SMMS SCP @iceylady]

@PeteWilcox1564 ‘Issued with some sadness’ - but received with huge respect and gratitude for your leadership. Thank you, @PeteWilcox1564!
