The failure of many churches to welcome, accept and include LGBTQ+ people creates stigma, loneliness, fear and denial, causing lasting damage to their wellbeing and mental health. What is more, the scale and severity of these problems are of the gravest concern.
This is from Rev Steve Chalke. Rev Steve is OK, inspiration, incredible with insights, Vision, around my age, wrote lot about workings of my professionals practice. But has limited experience in Youth work, is ordained minister, unsure ,.maybe Baptist like myself. Like his example, teachings, use of his gifts. Incredible.Want to make sure people are aware of my support on many aspects , so have often repeated that.
I know that due to my workings among vast range of Christian faith followers .
It hurtful to promote this attitude. Think due to Rev Steve geographic living position, he is somewhat isolated but impacted by culture of his environment. But Churches of Jesus the Lord,also require the right to not promote above own beliefs that grouping. From Rev Steve please hope more Open And Honesty to be expressed.
June is supposed to be the first month of summer, but it hasn't really felt like that to me. Just had to buy a new warm jumper.
