ON SATURDAY 28th August 2021, the Right Revd Cherry Vann, Bishop of Monmouth and OTN Patron, shared this reflection at St John’s Church, Cardiff, for the Pride Cymru Eucharist hosted by the Faith Tent, which celebrates and gives thanks for our rich, diverse and inclusive faith communities by organising talks and a faith presence at Cardiff's Pride Cymru.

On Saturday 21st August, a special vigil was held under the Peace Doves art installation at Liverpool Cathedral. OTN Coordinator Kieran Bohan was one of the speakers, praying for justice and peace for people with minority gender identities and sexual orientations around the world, and especially for respectful dialogue in the Church of England’s Living In Love And Faith conversations on Identity, Sexuality, Relationships and Marriage.

OCCASIONALLY a seminal work appears that becomes a defining piece, a turning point or breakthrough in a particular area. For the religious LGBTQ conversion movement, the documentary Pray Away, released on Netflix on 3rd August, could be that work.
