About Changing Attitude
Who we are

Changing Attitude is a network of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and heterosexual members of the Church of England.

We welcome as members everyone whose concern is to work for change in the church's understanding of human sexuality.

The Changing Attitude England network was founded in 1995. We have over 500 supporters in the UK with supporters in other European countries, New Zealand, Australia, USA, Canada, Brazil and Uganda.

In England, we have a network of diocesan groups meeting in 24 dioceses.

Changing Attitude networks have formed in Australia, Scotland, New Zealand and Nigeria and a new group in Australia is being started in March 2006.
