Here at St James’s, we are clear that the Christian faith is founded on love, indiscriminate and eternal.
The relationship between organised religion and the expression of human sexuality is complex, and we recognise the courage that it takes sometimes for people who identify as LGBTQ+ to even get in touch with a church. Everyone is welcome to come along, whether or not they identify as LGBTQ+, and enjoy and reconnect.
