Announcing our extraordinary allies: the 2016 LGCM Rainbow List
from the Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement:
We are proud and delighted to announce LGCM’s Rainbow List 2016 – the people our friends and supporters have nominated, and those who want to stand alongside us in their public, visible support for LGBT people in and beyond the churches. Our nominees come from a huge range of backgrounds, across the UK and further afield. Some have been quietly working away for decades, others have simply found themselves in a position where they can no longer stand aside and watch the people they care about being discriminated against, devalued and dismissed.
These are people who share our values – love, compassion, justice, equality and a passionate commitment to the gospel. They are people who see no conflict between the words of Jesus and the loving relationships of people of the same sex. They want to see change and transformation – so that individuals know that they are loved unconditionally by God for who they are, and the whole church can declare with confidence and integrity that the good news of Christmas is good news for everyone, without exception.
So here are those wonderful people. Thank you, every one of you. We will look forward to seeing you at a special reception at Westminster on Valentine’s Day next year – the evening before the Church of England debates sexuality in General Synod. We are proud and honoured to call you our friends – and we are delighted that you want to be named on our Rainbow List.
