Listen to their stories. #banconversiontherapy
“I spent years trying to be heterosexual because my church told me it was a sin to be gay. I wanted to end my life.”
The Govt has launched a public consultation on whether to ban this kind of abuse. Watch Diego tell his story & have your say. Find out more oasiswaterloo.org/banconvers…

“Too often, churches are not places of open dialogue, are not places where we can bring our whole selves without fear of judgement. This has to change.” Andrew Cunning highlights key findings from a @LeftSideUpNI report on faith and mental health. northernslant.com/how-can-ch…

If you're a COI member & today's resolution on abortion has left you feeling isolated or disappointed please talk to us. There is a different faith conversation happening about abortion & you are welcome to join in. Our next online meeting is Thursday. DM if you'd like to come.

Got some spare time? Sharing your story is the best way to break stigma and contribute to new learning in the field - #MensMentalHealthWeek share, talk, listen, engage, empower!
#MensMentalHealthWeek
We recognise silence and stigma exists for many men around mental health & wellbeing, it's just as apparent within the church.
As part of our continued work we are keen to reach out to men to encourage conversation and support.

What a perfect message from the Queer Theology folks to kick off #PrideMonth2021 Sexuality & gender identity has always been a wondrous tapestry, long before religious attempts to control & repress it. God's plan is always one of liberation rooted in love.

Congratulations to our friends at LSU on a powerful piece of work. The section on whether faith communities offer people a genuine or a conditional welcome is very relevant to folks who've had abortions. When acceptance is based on accepting the judgement of others that's harmful

This right here👇🏻If you're not willing to really ask this question and be prepared to do something with the answer, I think you'll be causing more harm than good. There's so much potential, but this needs to be the first step.

I'll let you into a secret. I'm not just "liberal" (their words) on Twitter, I'm also progressive IRL too!
We firmly believe there is a different story to be told around faith in NI and we are committed to telling it and telling it well.
Join us!

I firmly believe Churches and Faith Communities have a role to play in mental health and wellbeing for all.
Thankfully so do many others (as the research proves)!
We're looking forward to sharing more very soon, as we equip, challenge and support.
Save the Dates!
We're very excited our Faith & Mental Health Project
"A Call To Action"
will be published and launched very soon!
The research has interviewed/surveyed almost 150 in NI and has been analysed in collaboration with many different experts.

❗️Christian, if your church has women preaching, whether occasionally or regularly, hear me very clearly:
Let me know where and when - I'm in! ❗️
Oh and I'm utterly sick of this misogynistic drivel that permeates so many Churches/Faith Communities, esp here in NI.
ENOUGH.
