Running the Church: LGBTQ, HIV-Positive… and on the Synod! Philip Baldwin
OUTCAST WORLD
Monday, 28 July 2025 - 43 minutes
The Church of England just met to decide the future of LGBTQ+ people in the Church — again. Still no equal marriage. Still no full acceptance. Still a fight.
This week, Graeme speaks to Phillip Baldwin — a gay man, HIV-positive, and one of the few openly queer members of the Church’s General Synod. From inside the Church’s governing body, Phillip takes us behind the scenes of a system still struggling to recognise LGBTQ+ lives with dignity.
It’s a raw conversation about faith, identity, and what it means to stay in the room when the institution you serve refuses to fully welcome you.
