"The Open Table Network is a growing partnership of Christian worship communities which welcome and affirm people who are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, or Asexual (LGBTQIA) and our families, friends and anyone who wants to belong in an accepting, loving community.

"Churches don't always feel safe or welcoming to LGBTQIA+ people. But our name 'Open Table' is an open invitation to come in, just as you are, and be with us, in a safe, affirming community."

We are pleased to announce that a monthly Open Table Eucharist (or, Holy Communion) will be held at Sunderland Minster on the evening of the second Sunday of the month. The service will be followed by conversation over shared food.

The first ever meeting of Open Table Sunderland will take place at 6.00 p.m. on Sunday 13th February 2022. Please join us.
