Faith, Diversity, Inclusion.

The third round of the EF Mentoring Programme came to an end this November in Tartu. It is not easy to put into words everything that unfolded in these tandems over the past year and a half.

Last November, many of us from the LGBTI+ Christian communities of Eastern Europe and Central Asia met in Tartu, Estonia for three days that felt like a long-awaited exhale: prayer, learning, honest conversations, celebrating moments of courage, woven together in one shared space.

Even between assemblies of the World Council of Churches, members of Rainbow Pilgrims of Faith find ways to be present in gatherings of the global ecumenical movement.
