LGBT People, Faith and the Bible
What does the bible say about being gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender? Can I be an LGBT person and practise my faith? These are some of the many questions that LGBT christians ask. Here we provide a number of resources which discuss what the bible says about being queer and christian.

Documents have been provided in PDF and Word document format where possible for you to read online or download.
The Bible and Homosexuality by Rev. Dr. Mona West

"The word ‘homosexuality’ is a modern term and did not exist during biblical times. Biblical writers had no concept of sexual orientation or sexual development as we understand those today." ~ Rev. Dr. Mona West, The Bible and Homosexuality

So what DOES the bible say about homosexuality? That's the question Rev. Dr. West addresses in this informative resource. Rev. Dr. West offers us a full review of how to approach the subject of homosexuality in the Bible while staying connected to the cultural influences inherent in the text.
