In the beginning………wins over the last 5 years……future directions…….its all here


INTRODUCTION


On Friday the 30th September 2005, in Anthony Venn-Brown’s lounge room in Surry Hills, 12 people from similar backgrounds and experiences met together for the first time. Each person had contacted Anthony after reading his autobiography ‘A Life of Unlearning’ and the common thread was that everyone had walked a journey to resolve the perceived conflict between their faith and sexuality. For each person this had been a difficult, and at times, torturous journey; some were still resolving their sexuality and others sorting out issues faith and beliefs. And so Freedom 2 b[e] was launched and its main thrust has been to reach out to LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) people from Pentecostal, Charismatic and Evangelical backgrounds to offer connection, support and information. Freedom 2 b[e] reaches out to people both within churches and also those who have left, assisting them on their journey to resolution of their faith and /or their sexual orientation or gender identity.


Since its formation Freedom 2 b[e]’s credibility and influence has grown substantially. Freedom 2 b[e] is a name that has become increasingly known with the Australian LGBT and religious communities.


This is the first written report and therefore covers more than the last 12 months.

Hey avb, I appreciate the mention. I am honored really to be considered along with those other great guys. However, the name of the group has since changed to “The Alliance” as something else was already called Mosaic at our university. It’s probably too late to change it, but just letting you know.


The report was very interesting and I learned some cool stuff… looks like F2b is having a much bigger impact than I thought it did! Awesome. 🙂

I have saved it to read through once I get Christmas, New Years, and an Essay for Uni out of my face. 🙂

Sorry, Anthony – I did read it .. .. .. shortly after you posted it. Should have commented then. An excellent read. Indeed, an excellent bit of writing – interesting, informative, inspiring, just the right length. Suggest it should be posted as a heading in one of the drop-down menus – either under ‘About’ or ‘Resources’. Cheers
