World Religion Day: Let's talk about Religion and LGBTQ+
We get asked variations of the same question time and time again:
"I support people's rights to practice their religion, but do religious people support the LGBTQ+ community?"
There is nobody better to answer this question than Sarah, the vicar of Cardiff.
In January 2005 Sarah hit the headlines when she was outed to a national newspaper as having made a gender change
many years previously. The story was picked up by newspapers, television and radio stations throughout the world.
Reporters descended on her parishes and asked people what they thought about having a curate who had made a ‘sex-change’.
Despite criticism from some conservative Christians, her parishioners and her Bishop supported her, and Sarah became the first
person to be ordained in the Church of England having previously made a gender change.
Join Sarah to hear her inspiring story of identity, allyship and authenticity, and discuss how religion and the LGBTQ+ community
can coexist in perfect harmony.
