Date Wednesday 16 June 2021
Time 12.30-1.30 pm
In this event we heard from a panel who discussed the experiences of lesbian and gay people who practise a religion. We hope that this will be the first of several events in which we will examine LGBT+ and religion, focusing on the lived experiences of invited panellists. You can view the recording of the event below, and read our report about it here.
