LGBT PEOPLE OF FAITH AND RELIGION: The issues they face and specific needs

This presentation is a snapshot of the seminar/workshop 'Walking Between Worlds - working effectively with LGBT people from faith backgrounds. http://lgbttraining.blogspot.com/p/community-training.html LGBT people of faith and religion exist in/or have experienced two worlds; often intensely opposed to each other. They experience the usual issues of resolving their sexuality, coming out, finding their place in the community and learning what it means to live authentically in a predominately straight world. However, they often experience these with greater intensity and have additional issues to deal with.
