Bishop of Liverpool welcomes LGBT Christians

The Rt. Rev. Paul Bayes, Bishop of Liverpool, met with a group of LGBT Christians recently.

In his sermon he said,

God has called you to be people to proclaim his love in a nation and in a church which is moving so quickly in terms of what it thinks and how it acts towards (LGBT people)… that you can have a world where there is legal acceptance and homophobic violence all at once.
