Gathering Voices is a collaborative network of Christian organisations that encourage churches to be fully inclusive and affirming of all people without regard of gender and sexuality.
Our core values are that churches should:
- Show welcome to everyone.
- Embrace human diversity.
- Demonstrate inclusion.
- Provide affirmation of the gifts and calling of every individual.
- Offer sanctuary and be a safe space.
We present an ongoing series of events, conferences, and resources aimed at enabling churches to move from welcome to full inclusion of everybody.
We intend that Gathering Voices is a safe place.
