Memorial Service

OneBodyOneFaith has a legacy of making of difference: we’ve been leading change since 1976.We are a grassroots charity thatenables LGBT+ Christians and advocates for change within the church, ecumenically and intentionally in partnership with likeminded organisations.For many LGBT+ Christians places of Christian worship and community remain harmful and challenging. We are committed to stopping abuse through initiatives such as the Ban Conversion Therapy coalition; embracing positive change such as the advent of marriage equality in many traditions; and the transformation of church structures:our desire is for LGBT+ Christians to thrive, not just survive.

OneBodyOneFaith

To remember and commemorate members of the LGBT+ community who have lost their lives to suicide and experienced harm.

Hinde Street Methodist Church

A space to gather to remember those adversely impacted, harmed and lost, in the many years that we have been advocating for a place of genuine welcome for LGBT+ people in church. This will be a time of public memorial; a time to come together as LGBT+ people to grieve and support each other, in partnership with leaders across the Christian traditions. It will also begin to look forward in hope, to building a better and safer future together. If you feel able to, we would really encourage you to join us. Our first priority on the day is to create a safer space for our LGBT+ siblings to come together in remembrance. We will have a range of pastoral and professional support available on the day, should anyone need it. We have invited leaders from each of the Christian traditions and denominations to join us, alongside foremost advocates for inclusive change in these traditions. This is as an intentional act of trust and reconciliation, to ensure that the impact of the inappropriate debates about LGBT+ is sorrowed over and held in mind as we move forward together.Hinde Street Methodist Church is accessible, with a lift from street level to the main church, disabled access toilets and audio induction loops.
