Lesbian minister shares her journey
Freedom 2 b[e] will welcome respected church leader Reverend Nicole Fleming to its October chapter meeting, where she will share her journey as an out lesbian in the Uniting Church.
Fleming served as a youth worker in Dubbo for 11 years before moving into the Uniting Church NSW Synod Youth Unit where she was ordained. Through that process, she was open about her same-sex relationship.
Fleming, 36, was inducted as minister of Balmain Uniting Church in July, in a first for a major Christian denomination in Australia.
Fleming is also studying a Masters of Arts in Public and Contextual Theology. She is building a website through the Uniting Church for young people coming out in a Christian context, which she will also speak about at the meeting.
Freedom 2 b[e]’s meeting will be held at the ACON building, 414 Elizabeth St, Surry Hills on Friday, October 7, from 7pm. All are welcome to attend.

Looking forward to the event. People like Nicole are good role models for the many LGBT youth in Christian churches.
