2SLGBTQI Unity Statement

Posted: June 30, 2023 | Filed Under: Spotlight

As we come to the conclusion of #pridemonth2023, Bishop Michael Pryse has shared the following video.

How does God feel about Queer People?We asked ministers from denominations all over Canada to find out. Here’s what they said: God loves Queer People. The idea that all Canadian churches are hostile to the queer community is simply false, as these ministers and Moderators of the major denominations make clear. So what can you do? Contact your local politicians and let them know you do not condone hatred against queer people. Share it on social media and post this video to your church website. Let the world know that God is love, and God loves people of all sexualities and genders. 

This video was produced after a Unity Statement was signed by over 800 Christian Leaders from every province, the Northwest Territories and the Yukon, in support of our 2SLGBTQI community members.
