In a powerful display of denominational commitment to the LGBTQ+ community, Northern Lights MCC in UK recently represented the MCC Denomination at the pivotal #SaferToBeMe Conference in Gateshead, UK. The conference, spearheaded by the advocacy organization ReportOUT, served as a crucial gathering for activists, community leaders, and faith groups dedicated to fostering safety, well-being, and social inclusion for LGBTQ+ individuals globally.

Through events like #SaferToBeMe, MCC congregations reinforce their role as prophetic voices in society, working collaboratively with secular and interfaith partners to achieve a world where everyone is truly free and safe to be who they are. Their work in Gateshead is a powerful reminder that the journey toward justice demands continuous presence, listening, and unwavering love.
