- “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men (or women) to do nothing.”
- - Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
This statement is so true which is why LGCM has to remain vigilant and constantly challenge the attitudes and beliefs of society.
Below you will find a number of current petitions, research projects and campaigns that you can sign up to and help create a more just and fair society where true equality is the norm and no one need fear discrimination because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
Or you can simply make a commitment to pray daily for LGBT people around the world who continue to face ongoing threats to their freedom, safety, health and well-being for no other reason than their real or perceived sexual orientation and/or gender identity.
Pray for God’s blessing and protection upon their lives, that they may find strength and hope in the midst of adversity, and that governments everywhere will treat their citizens with fairness, justice and compassion.
And pray that people of faith and leaders everywhere may become global allies with us in the work of advancing peace and goodwill among all God’s children.
