Whats the Christian Union like?

As a student at Hope, members of staff have actively encouraged me to join the Christian Union.

I have some reservations. First, im Catholic, Second, im gay. So im uneasy about being discriminated against or having unwelcome comments made about my life. Also i've heard quite shocking things about other Christian Unions in and around Liverpool.

Anyone know what the Hope one is like? Is it inclusive?

Hi! We, christians, do not discriminate others due to their sexual attraction preference! Jesus instructed us to love everybody. So, the short answer is yes, it is inclusive.

Thank You. That's reassuring. I've heard some pretty dire things about Christian Unions in Merseyside so I just wanted to be sure.

I have participated in CU off and on. I found I was kind of not accepted due to being an international student, but maybe it was something else. To be honest I kind of just gave up on it lol. But be stronger than me, please, and if you’re worried try taking a friend with you.
