Anglican Rainbow Network
Founded in 2020, the Anglican Rainbow Network for LGBTIQA+ people meets once a month in seven different parishes of the Adelaide Diocese. It usually gathers on the second Tuesday of each month at 6.30 pm. The meetings have shared food and time for story-telling, prayer, and reflection.
Its purpose is to build an inclusive and safe community of faith and life, especially for those who feel on the margins of church and community due to their gender or sexual identity.

The prophet Isaiah (55:10-11) writes:
"For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return there until they have watered the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty but it shall accomplish that which I purpose and succeed in the thing for which I sent it."
God sent his "Word" in Christ to show us the extent of his Love and our Love for one another and all his creation is an offering which we then return to God.
Acknowledgment of Country
We acknowledge that the country on which we live and worship was taken from the Kaurna people without permission or compensation. In faith we affirm that these lands and waters, with everything and everyone in them, belong to God our creator. We acknowledge the First Nations Peoples as the traditional custodians and stewards of this place, and appreciate the deep spiritual connection they have with country. We respect the Kaurna people on whose country we meet, and honour their elders past, present and future. We express our gratitude in the sharing of country, and our sorrow at the personal, spiritual and cultural costs of that sharing
