Open Table is a safe sacred space for LGBTQIA+ Christians\u00a0<\/strong>& all who believe in an inclusive Church.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Open Table<\/strong>\u00a0aims to create a safe sacred space for you to explore your faith and what it means for you.\u00a0Whoever you are, wherever you come from, you are welcome here.<\/p>\n

Open Table shouldn\u2019t need to exist. \u00a0Our vision is of a world where LGBTQIA+ people are fully included within our church traditions and communities. Until then, we will continue to nurture safe, sacred, inclusive space where LGBTQIA+ Christians can ‘come as you are’.<\/p>\n

The first Open Table gathering will take place on Thursday 2nd March at 7 for 7.30pm at Space4, Ground Floor of Houghton Library, Newbottle Street, Houghton-le-Spring, DH4 4GB.<\/h2>\n

Thereafter Open Table North East will meet on the first Sunday of the Month at 7pm – more details to follow. Find out more about the Open Table movement on the website here.<\/a><\/p>\n
