Many Christians who are same-sex attracted are coming under increasing pressure not to hold to authentic Christian teaching about sex and marriage. Many of our churches need help and support so that they in turn are able to help and support their people who are fighting this battle.

Sam Allberry, author of Is God Anti-Gay?, commented: ‘The whole issue of homosexuality in our culture is huge. We’ve recently had legislation on gay marriage. It’s a growing issue people are thinking through. It’s a good time for us as Christians to be trying to articulate our beliefs on this issue and to help others understand them’.
