L.U.S.H. (Lesbians United for Self Help) was started in 2005 as a time-limited support group for gay Christian women, to meet the needs of women struggling to reconcile their sexuality and their faith. Though there was lots of information available online, it was thought to be helpful for gay Christian women to be able to gather as a group with others along the same journey, facing the same dilemmas and difficulties.
The first run of LUSH was facilitated by Jin-ee (Sayoni) and Jaime (Free Community Church), and there were 6 women who joined the group. We went through various topics covering the 3 main areas on Sexuality and what the Bible says; Our Relationships; and Our Community. LUSH has since been opened to women (gay, straight and/or curious), Christians and non Christians alike, who wish to find out more. LUSH had just completed their 5th run in 2009, and more than 30 women have participated in the LUSH support group.
