Open Table Network trustee Lucy Berry reflects on Epiphany, the theme we have chosen for the fifth week of our appeal.
Traditionally, the 12th day of Christmas (6th January), when we recall the arrival of the Magi (wise people from the East), is known as Epiphany, which means 'revelation', as Jesus was revealed to those outside the Jewish faith, as told in the Gospel of Matthew Chapter 2, verses 1-12.
The word 'Epiphany' also means 'a moment of sudden and great revelation or realization'. Lucy shares how 'The Open Table Network aches for all LGBTQIA+ people to receive this epiphany:
that the Jesus story isn’t just about you believing in God: but about God believing in you.'
