LGBTQIA+ Chaplaincy & Whosoever

LGBTQIA+ Chaplaincy

A chaplaincy service for the LGBTQIA+ community is led by the Revd Canon Sarah Hildreth-Osborn in the Aberconwy Mission Area.

The Chaplaincy exists because the Christian faith has something to offer everyone including LGBTQIA+ people. However because the Church has caused such hurt to the LGBTQIA+Community over many years we now need to create safe, sacred space, welcome them among us and allow LGBTQIA+people to be who they are, wonderfully created in the image of God and loved just as much as anyone else!

Services of blessing are now available in churches across the Diocese of St Asaph.

For more information, contact Sarah, the Chaplain or visit the weddings and blessings page.  

Whosoever meetings will take place at All Saints Church in Deganwy.

We meet at 11.30 for the Eucharist followed by a bring and share lunch during which we share stories and discuss those important to us and our journeys of faith.
