I was going to my local Baptist church in Lockyer Valley. The pastor wrote in the church bulletin about marriage euality using the same tired old rhetoric eg. that Homsexuality is about what we do and not who we are. I watched watching 'prayers for Bobby' video. I applauded Mary Griffiths speech at the Council meeting.

I am from a Pentecostal background so where can I find Gay affirming church. in Ipswich or southern brisbane or at least one who will accept me for who I am.

Great idea to hook up with the F2B group in Brisbane, they are an awesome group of people and could certainly point you in the right direction. I'm sure that question has been asked on this forum before so if you look around you might find it.

All the best
