Open To All is a touring exhibition by United Reformed Church minister the Revd Elizabeth Gray-King in partnership with the Open Table Network, which continues to be shown in cathedrals and town centre churches in 2024.
Having already visited Newcastle, Sunderland Minster, Sacred Trinity in Salford and Liverpool Parish Church, the exhibition will mark LGBTQ+ History Month at Coventry Cathedral in February.
The collection of paintings will then visit St Asaph’s Cathedral in March, City URC, Cardiff, in April, Newport Cathedral in May and June, and the American International Church in London in June and July.
The Open Table Network exists to encourage welcoming church spaces for members and allies of people who identify as LGBTQ+.
Elizabeth said: “We decided to work together because we share a commitment to inclusivity in the name of God.
“We have chosen city centre locations because they attract tourists who visit cathedrals and notable buildings. Such visitor attractions are an ideal place to show via my artwork that inclusivity is possible, imaginable even, and shows up in images depicting God topics. If visitors can literally see people in God gatherings with no barriers, it may be possible to imagine Christianity with the Gospel of wide ranging love – Open To All.”
