Call for LGBT people of faith

The LGBT Trust, West Midlands Faith Forum and Aston University's Martin Luther King Center are all involved in an event to inform faith leaders about the experiences of LGBT people of faith.

These faith leaders will be senior people within Faith Communities. It is believed by telling real stories about real people we will have the maximum impact.

The idea is to interview people from Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Jewish and Buddhist faiths to get personal stories and experiences about the experiences of being LGBT in a faith Community. These will then be used as material for actors to create dramatic pieces to be presented on the day.

All interviews would be conducted in strict confidentiality and no personal details would be taken.

Our voices are so often missing for the discourses about sexual orientation and this is an opportunity to have your voice heard.

Please contact the Reverend Chris Dowd on 07734155664 or email him at revchrisdowd@googlemail.com if you are able to help.
