The Human Sexuality Joint Strategy
Group comprises two representatives each from Changing Attitude, LGCM, the
Lesbian and Gay Clergy Consultation and the General Synod Human Sexuality Group.
The JSG met for the first time for a residential consultation before the July
2003 Synod, and has met twice since, most recently on Monday 3 February.
The
purpose of the Group is to:
- exchange
information on current activities/plans/campaigns
- identify
potential overlaps and potential conflicts between the member organisations
- agree
ways of harmonising activities/information/and publicity
- work
towards an agreed theology from which the Group can develop a vision and a
strategy for the churches.
- to
issue joint statements and reports when appropriate.
Cassandra
Howes, the Groups Chair said: “We look forward to a visible and energetic
network inspiring, informing, and encouraging the churches to be authentically
inclusive”
The group has agreed to mount a joint presence at the opening of the General
Synod meeting at Church House, London, on Monday 24th February, between 1.00 and
2.00pm, with banners from each group, and leaflets with the JSG press release to
give out as synod members arrive.
Anyone who has time available on the 24th, is welcome to come and join us. We
will be at the main entrance to Church House in Dean's Yard.
