What is Courage?
-
Courage is a UK-based, not for profit, evangelical Christian organisation.
Courage UK is not the Catholic ministry promoting chastity founded by Father John Harvey (based in New York, with other branches worldwide). If you are looking for that organisation, please go to www.couragerc.org. The UK branch of CourageRC (known as EnCourage) can be found at www.encouragetrust.org.uk.
Who is it for?
-
Gay and lesbian Christians who are seeking a safe place of friendship in which to reconcile their faith and sexuality and grow towards Christian maturity
-
Their partners and friends, parents and other family members
-
Churches that need a resource to help them understand the issues and needs of gay, lesbian and bisexual (GLB) people
-
Gay people without a faith who are seeking answers to life’s questions.
Our focus is:
-
our relationship with God
And our objectives are:
-
to work out our Christian discipleship together, in a way that is consistent with the teaching of Scripture, especially for those who are gay or lesbian
-
to dialogue with our brothers and sisters in churches who find homosexuality difficult to understand or accept
-
and to communicate the Good News to all who do not know Jesus Christ.
In addition to the articles, testimonies and links that are found on this website, an additional resource, providing a huge wealth of articles by Tony Cross on subjects of interest and concern to evangelical and gay Christians, can be found on the Tony Cross Column.
