The European Forum of LGBT Christian Groups have announced on their facebook page, that in 2019, the annual conference will be held in London:
The UK-based member groups of the European Forum of LGBT Christian Groups, and representatives of other groups have agreed to host the 2019 European Forum Conference in London from 26-30 June 2019.
The Board is very happy with this offer and wants to encourage you to put the dates of the 2019 conference in your agenda! Welcome!
We wish the London/UK team all the best and a lot of joy preparing the conference. But first: off to Rome (9-13 May 2018).
I attended the initial planning meeting on Saturday, to begin work on the conference. It was encouraging to note that even at this early stage, there are a number of UK LGBT groups, with a diverse range of denominations and interests, coming together to plan this exciting venture.
The groups attending or which had sent formal apologies, included:
- Quest
- LGBT Catholics Westminster·
- The Sibyls
- St Anne’s, Soho
- Evangelical Fellowship
- Bloomsbury Baptist Church
- MCC North London
- Open Table
- TUC LGBT
In addition to those groups formally represented, there are several more that have shown interest in informal discussions, and yet others that are still to be approached, from right across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The initial business agreed the date and discussed a possible specific venue., and began discussions on more detailed work that will need to be done by sub-groups.
This is an exciting prospect. I am delighted to be involved in bringing this valuable organisation of LGBT Christians to the UK.
