The fight for LGBT inclusion across the UK Church is to get a boost as two groups that have for decades lobbied for change merge.

Changing Attitude and the Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement (LGCM) announced on Friday that they will be joining forces.

“We’ve been working closely with Changing Attitude for some time now and we have so much in common, and so much to gain from working together,” said LGCM’s chief executive Tracey Byrne.

“We both bring wisdom and experience to our work, and Changing Attitude’s deep understanding of the Church of England is complemented by LGCM’s insights from across and beyond the denominations. We want to see all that energy, commitment and vision combined to bring about real and lasting change.”
