Picture of hands classed in prayer overlaid with text that reads: Generous God, You are faithful and hold all creation in your hands, we thank you for all our churches, for all our communities, and the people they serve. We thank you for Bishop Sarah, and pray for what lies ahead. Give Sarah wisdom, in decision making, strength in times of weakness, a prophetic voice, in times of injustice, and trust in your Holy Spirit. We ask this in the name of your Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

Inclusive Church affirms trans and non-binary identities.
We hope this will be news to no one. We have always believed that our trans and enby siblings are entirely belovèd of God, and we continue to believe so!
