OUR BELIEFS

We believe that:

• there is integrity in being both Christian and gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered

• lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered people are called by God to express their sexuality in loving, faithful and committed relationships

• same-sex orientation is a God-given reality for a large minority of people, not a sin or a sickness

• as the positive contribution of the gay community towards society becomes clearer, the church's mission to this expanding group becomes urgent

• our lives offer evidence of the fruits of the Spirit

• our present experience requires a re-evaluation of scripture and tradition

• to be lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgendered is not limited to sexual activity or sexual identity but encompasses every dimension of life

• prejudice against gay people in the church is as unacceptable as racism or prejudice against women

• the church should stop colluding with cultural repression and discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered people in all parts of the world.
