'Safe Faiths' survey open now
A survey is now open to Takatāpui / Rainbow Christians (from all Christian denominations in Aotearoa), and allies/advocates of Takatāpui / Rainbow Christians.
This project is led by five Christians who have created this ‘Safe Faiths’ survey because they are concerned that there is little or no research or quantitative data that explores whether Takatāpui / Rainbow people of faith feel safe attending their church or faith community. The results of this survey will be used to raise awareness of issues faced by Takatāpui / Rainbow people of faith in Aotearoa New Zealand and to support Takatāpui / Rainbow advocacy work, both within the church and more widely.
The 'Safe Faiths' webpage has more detail and information about the survey.
This ‘Safe Faiths’ survey is hosted by the Kingi Ihaka Research Centre, and has been co-created with Diverse Church. The Kingi Ihaka Research Centre is a Christian, kaupapa Māori research centre. Diverse Church is a network of safe faith communities in Aotearoa.
Attached are flyers with more information. They also have the QR code, which takes you to the survey, or you can go directly to the survey through the link on the above 'Safe Faiths' webpage.
