THE GATHERING - CARDIFF

The Gathering operates to create a safe space for the LGBT community and allies, to learn more about the Christian faith and provides a space for worship following Christian traditions. We also aim to bridge the gap between places of worship and the LGBT community by providing support both to places of worship and to members of the community.
