LGBTI Inclusion in Faith Communities
Please note: The music on this vid takes quite a while to
play through before you get to a speaker.
Thanks to Brandan Robertson for uploading this to the net
for The Editor of Beside The Creek to discover.
This video is from a discussion at the Parliament of the World Religions,
a worldwide interfaith organisation.
It has nothing to do with the event promoted below -
except that it is on a similar topic.
The video is on the USA situation.
The event below is the Australian situations.

LGBTI Inclusion in Faith Communities
