Wendy VanderWal-Gritter is the executive director of New Direction Ministries in Canada, an organisation that exists to provide “safe and spacious places for those outside the heterosexual mainstream to explore and grow in faith in Jesus Christ.”

We asked Wendy to reflect on Christmas from the perspective of her experience in ministering to gay and lesbian Christians.
