I just realised I should put up some links as follow-up to the night with Simon – for 5:17ers or BC3ers. I hope these help at least one person…
The organisation Simon works for is Liberty Christian Ministries, Sydney.
The Brisbane equivalent is Liberty Inc – no website but you can email them at [edit: updated, correct address is info@libertyinc.org.au].
Exodus International is ‘the largest information and referral ministry in the world addressing homosexual issues’.
Reconnecting is a much smaller Canadian site for youth, adults, their friends and family. This article from their site is a highly-recommended read for Christians generally, about how we can help create safe places in our churches for those who struggle with same-sex attraction. We’ll pray this is happening all around Brisbane as a direct result of last Saturday night.
The article is really worth reading. We need to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves and be a people where grace can be found not condemnation. I like his analogy of the church as in 1Cor12
