What does it mean to be a queer Christian? We hear one woman’s perspective.

Meet Lisa-Jayne Lewis. A well-known figure in the queer Christian world, she is on the leadership team of Two:23 and The Gathering Space, both safe spaces for queer people to be themselves within their faith. Lisa-Jayne is also a trustee of OneBodyOneFaith, the oldest LGBT Christian organisation in the UK and formerly known as the Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement (LGCM). We talked about her journey through her sexuality and faith, the present and future status of LGBTQ Christians, and the burden upon this group of people as their lives remain up for debate within their faith.

Content warning: this episode includes discussion of conversion therapy, suicide, and child abuse.
