The Synod of the Anglican Diocese of Brisbane (Anglican Church Southern Queensland) intends to offer an apology to LGBTIQA+ people for the harm caused by the treatment of LGBTIQA+ people by The Anglican Church Southern Queensland.
The committee charged with developing the apology would like to hear from LGBTIQA+ people who are current or past members of The Anglican Church Southern Queensland, and members of their families, regarding their experience of The Anglican Church Southern Queensland (Diocese of Brisbane) through its parishes, schools, and institutions.
