Holy Trinity is now officially an Inclusive Church – a church which celebrates and affirms every person and does not discriminate. Mosaic is going through the process. We are very pleased to be recognised in this way.
We will continue to challenge the church nationally where it continues to discriminate against people on grounds of disability, economic power, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, learning disability, mental health, neurodiversity, or sexuality.
We believe in a Church which welcomes and serves all people in the name of Jesus Christ; which is scripturally faithful; which seeks to proclaim the Gospel afresh for each generation; and which, in the power of the Holy Spirit, allows all people to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Jesus Christ.
Our open gathering
Our open gathering is for anyone whose faith is facing challenges because of sexuality, gender identity, neurodiversity or any other reason. We meet to create a safe space where we can simply be ourselves, share our experiences and rejoice in our faith.
The gatherings normally take place at 5.30 pm on the last Sunday of each month in Langley Hall.
Please note: these gatherings are currently paused during the vacancy.
Same sex relationships
The debates are continuing across the Church of England about the blessing of same sex marriages. In 2023 we met as a parish to find out what we think. There were a range of views expressed, but the great majority view was that it is important to affirm all loving relationships without making judgments about sexuality. Thus it was considered important that a blessing should be offered to all couples seeking one. This view is upheld by our Vicar.
