Reverend Kate Bottley is in Didsbury, Manchester, to explore what it means to be an inclusive church, and she finds out how a tragedy caused one parish to embark on a journey of great change.
Kate meets Kevin and Hilary, the parents of a young girl who tragically took her own life in 2014 after wrestling with her faith and sexuality. Kate also speaks to Reverend Nick Bundock, the parish rector, to hear how this insurmountable loss caused the church to completely change their approach, embracing inclusion in all its forms.
Plus, marking 400 years since the birth of George Fox, a look into how the faith group he founded, the Quakers, has championed equality and inclusion since it was founded in the 1650s.
