We see the gospel as a liberating message. It enables us to recognize discrimination against gays and lesbians as well as against other suppressed groups and to work towards its removal within both church and society at large. We consider both homosexual and heterosexual feeling and behaviour to be expressions of a single human sexuality. Both are of equal value. In particular, we work towards a full integration of lesbians and gays into the church communities.
Success can only result from a change in the church's attitude towards sexuality in general.
Our Goals We want to make clear that homosexual behaviour and the gospel are not mutually exclusive. The message of Jesus was one of community and acceptance, not one of separation or isolation. We want to strengthen solidarity among gay men and lesbian women. We want the churches to correct simplistic and unqualified statements about homosexuality. We want to help gay and lesbian people experiencing difficulties with their employers, particularly where it concerns the church.
