FOR #LGBThistorymonth this year, the Methodist Church's theme is #AllAreWelcome. Discover how the #Methodist church which hosts the Open Table Chester community moved from the ‘pain of growth’ to becoming 'a lighthouse for those seeking sanctuary'. 👉 bit.ly/OTchester0226 #LGBTHM #LGBTHM26
An outdoor photograph shows a group of people at a Pride event in Margate, standing on a grassy field under a clear blue sky. In the foreground, two women hold a large white hand-painted banner that reads "UNION CHURCH ❤️s TRANSCENDENCE." The woman on the left wears a dark top and a bright pink patterned skirt, while the woman on the right wears a rainbow-striped tank top and dark shorts. In the background, other attendees are visible, including some wearing colorful clothing and pride accessories. An ice cream truck and coastal buildings are also visible behind the group.
'AT THE HEART of it, God is love.' ❤️
Union Church, a #Methodist / #URC partnership in Margate, shows how faith and inclusion go together. From welcoming #LGBTQ+ people to hosting art trails (even a visit from Madonna!) they’ve become a creative hub for all. 🏳️🌈✨

William Bankes was celebrated for his archaeological discoveries and elegant remodelling of Kingston Lacy House.
However, as Dr Philip Salmon explores, he was put on trial for homosexuality whilst serving as MP for Dorset in 1833, and later fled the country to avoid prosecution.

A person with long hair tied in a bun, wearing a black t-shirt and trousers, sits on a small yellow velvet stool in an art studio. They are holding a light-colored pet rat on their hand while looking at the camera. The white wall behind them is decorated with various sketches and drawings, including depictions of crosses and horses.
CHURCH BUILDINGS can be daunting for those who've been hurt. So Grace, a queer artist, creates sacred spaces where people feel comfortable. 🏡✨

A graphic with a maroon, orange, and teal geometric background featuring the Methodist Church logo (a cross within a white circle) in the top right. The central text is a prayer that reads: "Loving God, Show us the way to make our worship spaces and congregations welcoming to all who seek your face. Cause us to lift the barriers which prevent us from being welcoming. Change the hearts of those who do not welcome difference and who are reluctant to embrace the full gospel of Christ. All are welcome. We are one body. One Church. Amen."
THANK YOU to the Methodist Church in Britain for sharing this prayer for #LGBThistorymonth
