Meet Charity, young, lesbian, Christian, in a happy relationship with Katy and disturbed by her church's attitude to LGBTQI people after taking part in its national conference.


Through regular conversations in the local café with her supportive minister, Charity shares her experiences, and gains new insights and confidence about her identity and role in her local church. She learns that interpretations and translations of so-called anti-homosexual key Bible texts are recent, wrong and don't cover loving committed adult same sex relationships.


Importantly, after studying research on how people adopt new ideas with her minister, Charity learns that people can change their mind and their attitudes, but that this happens at different paces for different people.
