Authentic Christianity
Living life authentically as a Christian who happens to be gay is something I find extremely difficult...even today as I'm typing this.
Before I joined LUSH, having read the "clobber passages", heard the condemning as well as the affirming perspectives of the faith-sexuality issue, I was at a point where I was assured that God loves me. It was a long and hard struggle just to arrive at that point and it took years of tears and pain, countless nights of questioning God and questioning myself.
However, even with this assurance, I still felt very alone in this situation. Most people I know are either Christian and heterosexual, or queer and non-Christian (or non-practicing Christians). I remember stumbling upon FCC's website, reading about it and thinking how wonderful it would be to meet fellow queer Brothers- and Sisters-In Christ in Singapore who could worship God, just as they are, without having to mask or conceal any part of who they really are.
I can't worship regularly at FCC because I attend another church with my family but the first time I went to FCC was one of those times when my folks were out of town. That was when I was told about LUSH. I knew I wanted to join the next available run of LUSH and I'm really thankful that I did.
I can't promise that you will get answers or miracles, but I trust that you will meet fellow Sisters-In-Christ who can identify better with the faith-sexuality issues and struggles you face, and share experiences, stories and encouragement as we journey on together towards living authentic, victorious and God-centered lives.

Lush 6 beginning in February
Do you sometimes feel you are living a secret double life?
Are you sick of the guilt and feeling like a sinner beyond redemption?
Or perhaps you have chosen to embrace your sexuality but have drifted away from God in the process?
Your sexuality and your Faith need not be mutually-exclusive!
If you would like to find out more about this possibility, come join us at LUSH.
Whether you are straight, conflicted, clueless or just a curious female, you are all welcome.
FCC is having its sixth run of LUSH early 2010. Started in 2005, LUSH aims
to give women a different perspective to the homosexuality-thumping bible
verses as compared to the mainstream churches.
The group will be based on the format of a support group, providing a safe space to exchange ideas, explore other points of view, and encourage each other along our shared journey. (To aid the effectiveness of such a format for sharing, the size of the group will be limited, and members will be admitted on a first-come-first-served basis.) The format will be based on discussions and sharing on a range of issues from the topics: Loving Ourselves; Sexuality and what the Bible says;Our Relationships. The group will be once a week, running for approximately 6 months with breaks in between.
Interested participants are required to commit for the entire run. If you are interested or have any enquiries, please email your name & contact number to fcc.lush@gmail.com Please reply by 22th Jan.
