Members comments
When asked in a recent survey whether they would recommend The Consultation to their LGBTI friends, members said:
"It is a confidential space to be yourself and meet with other clergy in the same place."
"It is good to meet men & women in similar circumstances in a non-heavy, Christian spirit - affriming and refreshing."
"It's a great way to receive support, make friends and to hear what is happening in the Church."
"It's an expression of solidarity, of creative indifference and opposition to 'official' policy on sexuality."
"It's a good place to go if you are newly ordained or just 'coming out'."
"It's a 'safe place' and great for making contacts, feeling supported and extending friendships."
"There's something about its gentleness; its capacity to 'hold' and listen."
"It helps shatter the lie that you are alone."
