OneBodyOneFaith (formerly the Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement, LGCM) is a UK-based charity which challenges homophobia and transphobia, especially within the Church and faith based organisations, as well as working to create and praying for an inclusive church. It was founded in 1976, originally as the Gay Christian Movement.
The Chief Executive is Rev Sharon Ferguson, who took over in 2008 from Rev Richard Kirker. In May 2014 LGCM announced that Tracey Byrne would be taking over as the new Chief executive as from the 2nd of June.[1]
LGCM is a member of the European Forum of LGBT Christian Groups.
The movement moved its headquarters to Newark-on-Trent in 2015. It was renamed OneBodyOneFaith in February 2017.
Local groups
LGCM has had local groups in various parts of the country (including 3F in central London) and a group in Nairobi, Kenya.
