In June 2008, six people gathered at the first Open Table service with a vision to start a regular communion service for the LGBTQIA+ community, family and friends. 18 years later, the Liverpool community has grown and is still going strong, and 36 other communities now meet across England and Wales, hosting hundreds more each month, and reaching thousands online, with more to come.
Join us for a celebration and thanksgiving communion service led by Revd Steve Chalke MBE.

With regret we've taken the decision to postpone the Introduction to Contemplative Prayer day on 7th February. Mark who was due to lead it has been in hospital recently. Our prayers are with him and his family and postponing the day gives him more time to rest and recover.

with Revd Anne Lawlor Saturday 8th November 2025 10am - 4pm
at St Joseph Prayer Centre Blundell Ave, Formby, Liverpool L37 1PH
Join us for a creative and nurturing one-day retreat led by the Revd Anne Lawlor to explore how as LGBTQIA+ people we bring faith, embodiment, and identity together like a mosaic. Drawing on research that highlights both the pain of conflict with church tradition and the healing found through spirituality, this retreat offers space to reflect, share, and imagine new ways of encountering God beyond patriarchal and heteronormative boundaries. By creating our own mosaic we will explore what God means to us and how God is present in the reality of all of our lives.

Join Sarah Jones as she embarks on a UK wide speaking tour with her Everyday Normal sessions.
The debate about trans people has become incredibly toxic. The Supreme Court Judgment of April 2025 has had major repercussions for the lives of transpeople in the UK. Each day brings a new report about trans activists or anti-trans activists. In the Everyday Normal sessions, Sarah explores the reality of being trans and of being outed as the first person to be ordained by the Church of England having previously made a gender change. We'll think about the issues and the concerns of today and we'll look to the future to see what that might hold.
We'll laugh together. We might cry. Everyday Normal is a life-affirming session for people who would like an entertaining exploration and who would like to understand trans issues for themselves.
