Belfast Pride

A tract created for Belfast Pride 2022.

In order to try and demonstrate to the LGBTQ+ community that God loves them and that the gospel is inclusive, this tract is in the form of a story about a person from that community.

It lends from the Pharisee and Tax Collector parable that Jesus told His disciples…

Luke 18:9-14
To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable: "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.'

But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.'

"I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted."
