Church politics and the LGBTQI community #AfricaPrideMonth

Loading player...
"The doors have been opened as awareness has been created over the years through queer people telling their stories and through testifying in church! We've had many courageous LGBTQI people that have stuck it out in the church, advocating for change but also, there is a large number that has left the church because the church has been very slow in transformation" - Rev Ecclesia de Lange

As part of our #AfricaPrideMonth conversations, the Breakfast team talked the Director of I Am, an organization that advocates for inclusion of the LGBTQI community by addressing religious issues.

Catch up on this conversation between the #OnTheGoBreakfast Team and Reverend Ecclesia de Lange, the Director: I Am (Inclusive & Affirming) Ministries.
