Manage episode 382371493 series 2832237
Jayne Ozanne is a prominent gay evangelical who works to ensure full inclusion of all LGBTI people of faith within their faith communities, and within wider society as a whole. She is Director of both the Ozanne Foundation, which works with religious organisations around the world to eliminate discrimination based on sexuality or gender in order to embrace and celebrate the equality and diversity of all, and of the Global Interfaith Commission on LGBT+ Lives, which she launched in December 2020 bringing together hundreds of senior affirming faith leaders from around the world. Jayne was a founding member of the Archbishops’ Council for the Church of England (1999 – 2004) and is now once again a member of General Synod where she is involved in campaigning for a range of issues impacting those who are marginalised and excluded. In 2017 she led a debate on the dangers of Conversion Therapy within the Church of England, which resulted in the Synod calling on the government to ban it. In March 2019 she was appointed to the government’s LGBT Advisory Panel, from which she publicly resigned in March 2021, highlighting the increasingly “hostile environment” for LGBT+ people and the lack of progress towards a ban on “conversion therapy”. In September 2020 she set up the Ban Conversion Therapy Coalition, which she chairs and which brings together survivor groups, LGBT organisations, faith leaders and academics who are all working together for a ban. She is actively engaged through her writings and broadcasts in helping religious groups develop and promote a positive ethic towards lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people. As a survivor of conversion therapy, her tag line is “Unashamedly Gay, Unashamedly Christian” and as such works to be a role model for LGBT people of faith. Thanks to her autobiography, Just Love, she is featured as one of Wiki Ezvid’s Top 5 Non-Fiction Authors of Books about Christianity.
