Last week around 150 of us met for our Annual Conference in Varese/Milano in Northern Italy.

Many of us arrived a day before, Wednesday, May 8th, when we could choose among a variety of pre-conferences that were either identity-based or theme-based.

Thursday was when the conference started for real with an Opening Ceremony, dinner and Ascension Day Liturgy Prayer.

The weekend continued with workshops, our Annual General Meeting, morning yoga, prayers, lots of food and great company with new and old friends.

We also made a day trip to Milano during which we got to meet Italy's first transgender City Councelor, listen to a local LGBT choir performance and attend a Rainbow Service in a Baptist Church.

We've had an amazing time together and can't wait to meet everyone again next year!
