With so many competing narratives around sexuality and gender today, both inside and outside the church, Christian leaders can easily feel confused about how to care for the LGTBQ+ people in their midst. Our resources allow you to access the voices of a wide variety of queer Christians. Regardless of your theological position—or confusion—on these matters, we invite you to use these resources to deepen your insights into those you may be serving in your church, ministry or classroom, perhaps without even knowing it.
