OTN is seeing a large rise in requests for support from around the world, particularly from Uganda, where the President has rejected a new hardline ‘anti-gay’ bill as not tough enough. Following a recent online meeting with several people across Uganda, OTN trustee Neil Rees shares this reflection.

THIS SERMON was given by OTN trustee Revd Dr Augustine Tanner-Ihm at the Open Table Liverpool community on the second Sunday of Easter, based on the story of ‘Doubting Thomas’ [John 20:19-31] who doubted Jesus’ resurrection until he saw Jesus with his own eyes and touched his wounds.

THIS WEEK the Equality & Human Rights Commission (EHRC), Great Britain’s national equality body, advised the Minister for Women & Equalities on clarifying the definition of the protected characteristic of 'sex' in the Equality Act. Queer trans human rights lawyer Grey Collier, an Open Table community member, wrote this response.

FOLLOWING the publication of the Church of England’s draft Prayers of Love and Faith for thanksgiving, dedication and God’s blessing for same-sex couples, the Revd Cate Jacobs, a long-term member of the first Open Table community in Liverpool, has written this poem.
