Running the Church: LGBTQ, HIV-Positive… and on the Synod! Philip Baldwin

The Church of England just met to decide the future of LGBTQ+ people in the Church — again. Still no equal marriage. Still no full acceptance. Still a fight. This week, Graeme speaks to Phillip Baldwin — a gay man, HIV-positive, and one of the few openly queer members of the Church’s General Synod. From inside the Church’s governing body, Phillip takes us behind the scenes of a system still struggling to recognise LGBTQ+ lives with dignity. It’s a raw conversation about faith, identity, and what it means to stay in the room when the institution you serve refuses to fully welcome you. ---THIS IS OUTCAST WORLD --- Like and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts and please leave a review.
