Who supports us
'I love all that Living Out do in seeking to serve and support those living with same-sex attraction who also want to remain faithful to their Christian convictions. I encourage every church and Christian leader to get behind this vital ministry.'
Gavin Calver, CEO, Evangelical Alliance (UK)
'I am impressed by the integrity with which these men and women have wrestled with such deep life issues and applaud their sacrificial commitment to living biblically.'
Revd John Dunnett, Chair, Evangelical Group General Synod
Ours is a call to love as radical disciples, living as those created in the image of God. This site, these honest vital stories, teach us something more of what that looks like for us as Jesus' followers in the 21st Century.
Revd Lis Goddard
'I am excited by this new resource for the church. Ours is a call to love as radical disciples, living as those created in the image of God. This site, these honest vital stories, teach us something more of what that looks like for us as Jesus' followers in the 21st Century.'
Revd Lis Goddard, Author of The Gender Agenda
'This website gives Christians who maintain an authentic, biblically-based approach to same-sex attraction a welcome opportunity to tell their stories of God's grace as they seek to live out their faith with integrity.'
Revd Dr David Hilborn, Academic Dean and Senior Lecturer in Theology and Church History, London School of Theology
'This is how the church will develop a more compassionate pastoral approach – by listening to stories of 'its own,' real people with same-sex attraction who are already Christians. I recommend this site!'
Dr Wesley Hill, Author of Washed & Waiting: Reflections on Christian Faithfulness and Homosexuality
The people whose stories are on this site are not experiencing their lives as impoverished or sub-human. Their commitment to chastity within the lives God has given them is one of finding fulfilment and identity in their relationship to Christ.
Timothy Keller
'Ironically, we live in a time in which it takes more courage for people to take this position publicly than to embrace homosexual practice as compatible with Christianity. But the people whose stories are on this site are not experiencing their lives as impoverished or sub-human. Their commitment to chastity within the lives God has given them is one of finding fulfilment and identity in their relationship to Christ. They show that the biblical view of homosexuality makes great sense and is even liberating when viewed from within joyful belief of the gospel story.'
Timothy Keller, Founder, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York
'Living Out beautifully demonstrates through personal stories what we believe as Christians – that all human life is precious and equal. We are not defined by our sexual orientation or activity but by the reality that each of us is created in the image of a loving God.'
Dr Amy Orr-Ewing, Author, theologian and speaker
'The Living Out website presents the stories of everyday Christians, who recognise their enduring same-sex temptations, but who hold fast to a greater hope and a greater authority in the person of Jesus Christ.'
Stuart Parker, Director, True Freedom Trust
'Living Out is a great resource and a great encouragement to faith. It opens up the reality known by so many who have chosen this difficult path, and speaks with compassion and love.'
Dr Elaine Storkey, Academic, author and broadcaster
'I am so grateful for this website, with its personal and biblically-balanced response to the issue of same-sex attraction.'
Revd Rico Tice, Associate Minister, All Souls Church, London & Christianity Explored
'Openness and honesty, humility and faith are clearly to be found on this extraordinarily helpful site. I wholeheartedly recommend it and hope it will provide help and inspiration to many.'
Terry Virgo, Founder, Newfrontiers
'Whenever Christians become open and honest about the real-life issues of learning to live according to the Maker’s instructions they create the sort of compassionate, non-judgemental and mutually supportive community that God always intended his church to be. The contributors to this website, and those who have courageously told their own stories, understand that; we thoroughly recommend it to church leaders and members alike, as we all respond to the sexual revolution going on in our society.'
John & Anne Coles, New Wine
