From the ‘Conversion — the Pink That Cannot Be Hidden’ series. Thomas (pseudonym) describes his 2018–2020 search for ‘conversion therapy’ across two organisations.

A brother’s livestream testimony at BMCC’s 2020 World AIDS Day Sunday service. At 45, twenty-five years after his HIV diagnosis at twenty, he reflects on finding belonging at BMCC — the only church in Hong Kong where he felt safe across a dual identity (LGBTQ+ and HIV-positive).

BMCC’s 27th anniversary thanksgiving service. Lead pastor on Psalm 43:4: BMCC arose from a group of ordinary people who refused to accept that their lives must end as society dictated. Fifty years after MCC began America’s LGBTQ+-affirming movement, the work continues. A call to lay down what we cling to, walk to the altar, light our own candle.

Lead pastor on Acts 5: the early church’s perseverance under persecution depended on character — being of one heart and mind. The story of Ananias and Sapphira shows the cost of spiritual hypocrisy.

Rev. Ngeo Boon Lin on Mark 2:18-22 — the three parables of the bridegroom, the new patch on old cloth, and new wine in new wineskins — all calling for change.
