A Project of Holy Dialogues.

Our devotionals for Advent, Lent and Easter are written by LGBT Christians and their friends. Contributors write from a wide array of Christian conviction and belief at the intersection of faith and LGBT, writing from their own beliefs and doctrines without harm to another. This is the heart of holy dialogue, and we believe there is room for all at the feet of Jesus.
