Next meeting - 18th July 2020
July 17, 2020
Join us for our next online meeting on Saturday 18th July.
For a second time a whole bunch of Two:23 people have contributed songs, short reflections, poems and pictures, this time on the theme of 'Horizons: dreaming & building'.
As lockdown gradually lifts, lots of us are asking the question how we can rebuild things to be fairer, more just, in such a way that respects both creation and the dignity and value of human lives. In this meeting we'll be looking forward, dreaming, praying for and building visions of a better world post-lockdown.
Join us on YouTube from 2.30pm on Saturday 18th July 2020, and then gathering together in the breakout rooms of Zoom to talk, pray, reflect and catch up with one another.
Again, if you can't normally get to London, or have been a bit nervous about walking through those doors at Bloomsbury, then this could be a great meeting for you to test us out!
It will all kick off at 2.30pm on Saturday 18th July here on our website.
No need to book in advance for the first part of the meeting, but if you'd like to join us on Zoom afterwards, please email hello@two:23.net with a one sentence explanation of why you'd like to join the call, and we'll send you the Zoom details. Additionally, details of the Zoom call will be shared on the Gathering Space.

The Gathering Space
Two:23 only meets six times a year, but we're really pleased to have very close links to The Gathering Space, which is a supportive and friendly Facebook-based community for LGBTQ Christians run by a team including Rachel, David, Lisa-Jayne and Alex, who are also on the Two:23 Team.
It's a great place to keep in touch with people between meetings, or get to know some people before coming along to a meeting. It's also a secret group on Facebook, so nobody else on Facebook will be able to see that you are a member, if that would be a concern for you.
To find out more or to join, please email gatheringspacelgbtq@gmail.com.

Diverse Church Parents
Diverse Church Parents is a safe, welcoming Facebook-based community where parents and other family members of LGBT+ people can connect with others who are going through similar experiences.
It is run by regular Two:23ers Bruce and Janet Kent, and they arrange a real-life meet up at 1:00pm just before every Two:23 meeting in London.
Everyone is welcome regardless of where they’re at on the journey of coming to terms with having an LGBT+ relative, particularly in the context of churches that may not be affirming or inclusive.
To find out more email them at parents@diversechurch.co.uk
