Services
Affirmation Scotland offers a ministry of care, hope and advocacy to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (lgbt) Christians, their families and supporters. It also seeks to contribute to the debate within the Kirk on human sexuality from a progressive perspective.
Affirmation Scotland seeks to:
- create safe places and times for gay people and their friends to meet for worship, fellowship, and support.
- organise events that promote an inclusive church.
- provide resources to the Kirk and the lgbt community promoting the belief that God welcomes into God’s family all people regardless of gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
- speak out for the dignity and place of gay Christians whenever this is under attack.
- respond appropriately to approaches by the media for comment on issues related to the Kirk.
- be a presence – reminding the Kirk in a consistent way that the lgbt community has always been and is present within the Kirk.
