Hello, and welcome to a very special episode of The Gathering Podcast! Join Sam (Worship Leader) and Georgia (LGBTQ+ Community Link Worker) as they interview Jayne Ozanne about her faith journey, what it was like to come out as a senior evangelical figure in the Church of England, and the fight to ban conversion therapy. Please heed the content warnings above when listening to this episode, and, if this brings up anything for you, get in touch with one of our Pastoral Leaders, or call the conversion therapy helpline at 0800 130 3335.
You can also find support and resources at the Ozanne Foundation here.
