Activism, unity and diversity in the church w/ Laura Mascarenhas

We chatted to Laura, a second year theology student from Cardiff, about her experience of finding Jesus in the midst of good & bad church experiences. She is passionate that you CAN be gay and a follower of Jesus, is asking for churches to be safe places but where no-one is fully comfortable as they are challenged to think differently and be part of diversity. She wants all of this to be based off a foundation of loving each other & being united as image bearers of God.  Twitter: @lauumascarenhas Instagram: @lauumascarenhas Blog and resources: https://lauralivingloved.wordpress.com/resources/lgbtq/ More links: https://linktr.ee/lauumascarenhas
