The Summer 2010 Edition of All God’s Children is now available for sale.
Our current edition of the magazine has a ‘Pride’ theme. Our slightly tongue-in-cheek cover photo shows people wearing the Christians Together at Pride t-shirts that brought such positive responses at Pride events this summer. We share the story behind Christians Together at Pride.
You’ll also read an extensive interview with our AGM keynote speaker (and singer) Rizi Timane. She has a powerful story to share. If you saw her perform in London you’ll want to read it. If you didn’t catch her, you’ll need to read it!
For those who are less than convinced of the role of institutions and traditions when it comes to exploring faith there’s a fresh take on all things spiritual by Simenon Honore.
Human rights remain central to the work of LGCM. Our report on the Malawi High Commission protest earlier in the summer combines personal with an account of the protest organised by those who don’t share our own sympathies for matters of faith.
We also feature Rachel Archer, the heterosexual Christian CEO of the London Lesbian and Gay Switchboard; news of our Faith and Sexuality education project; an open letter to John Shelby Spong; an exploration of intersex issues; and grab a few minutes with Mark Healey, the man behind the No to Hate Vigil in Trafalgar Square. With all this and more, there’s sure to be something to interest you. This isn’t OK! magazine, this is so much better than OK!

Often the only Christians you see at London Pride are the ones waving anti-LGBT placards and generally being very negative. This year, a group of us thought it would be great if we could get as many LGBT Christians and their friends as possible to march together and make a positive statement to the LGBT Community. A statement that says that God loves LGBT people too, and that we’re proud to be Christian and LGBT.
London Pride took place on Saturday 3 July 2010. To view photos and articles and to give feedback on the day visit christiansatpride.com or the Facebook page.
