THE VALUE OF STORIES
WHO WE WORK WITH
The mission of Brave is far to important to be accomplished on our own, which is why we love to partner with a wide range of other Organizations and Individuals.
Those shown are just a few of those.
THORNE HARBOUR HEALTH
We are proud to continue to partner with Thorne Harbour Health (Previously Victorian Aids Council)
NICOLE CONNOR
One of our favourite story-tellers
“I have devoted my life to stories – as a writer and public speaker I believe stories can change the world.”
KATHY BALDOCK
Kathy is the author of Walking the Bridgeless Canyon and the founder of Canyonwalker Connections. Kathy is an enthusiastic partner of Brave and a globally respected expert in the history of the ex-gay/conversion therapy movement.
THE REFORMATION PROJECT
At Brave we love our continued Relationship with the Reformation Project.
Our Missions beautifully align to bring about change in the wider Church Community towards LGBTIQ Acceptance and Affirmation
EQUAL VOICES
Equal Voices is a national organisation working for the full inclusion of LGBTIQ people in Australian churches. Equal Voices is a proud partner of Brave Network.
“We are a movement of straight and LGBTIQ+ Christians who mourn the silencing and rejection of Christians who are LGBTIQ+ by our churches. We are committed to the cultivation of church cultures in which LGBTIQ+ people are welcomed and accepted on the same basis as anyone whose sexuality is ‘straight’.”
