January Meeting and some news...

Hello everyone,

thanks to all of you who made it to St Martin's yesterday and to those who met us afterwards.

It was a very inspiring service and it was nice meeting you and getting to know you afterwards.

There are some events in the coming weeks that may be of interest to you:

Launch of ‘Living It Out: A survival guide for lesbian, gay and bisexual Christians, and their friends, families and churches’.


Living It Out is practical and positive and is based on the stories of more 50 contributors of all ages, from eight denominations, exploring issues such as coming out in church, love and marriage and family relationships.

The event will be held on Wednesday 27 January, 6.30-7.30pm at Waterstone’s bookshop, 82 Gower Street , London.

It’s free and all are welcome. You can read more about it on

Sexuality and Human Flourishing
Saturday 6 February 2010 (10am to 4.30pm)at Church of the Ascension, Stirchley, Birmingham.


A Day Conference to explore and celebrate our relationship with God, with each other, and with our inner selves.

Jointly organised by members of The Centre for the Study of Christianity and Sexuality, Inclusive Church, Changing Attitude, LGCM, The Sibyls, and Church members in Norwich and Birmingham.

Keynote Speakers

Arnold Browne The Scriptures and Sexual Diversity

Alison Webster Sexual Diversity and the Human Journey

The aim of this conference is to create a safe and holy speace in which we can explore the themes of human sexuality, faith, and relationships, through listening, reflection and discussion. What is it about our sexuality that informs and expresses the nature of our huamnity and our relationship with God?

At a time when the Churh is deeply divided on the issue, many of us find this question perplexing, in the light of our own experiences, and of those whom we know.

Cost: £15 (Concessions £5)
