0:16:51 > 0:16:53- ..the director of - the Iris Prize Festival.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56- He mentioned the film, - All One In Christ...
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- ..about the Church's stance - on those who are lesbian, gay...
0:17:00 > 0:17:02- ..bisexual or transgendered.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06- The film was premiered at - St Asaph Cathedral last night.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07- Gerallt has the story.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- The relationship between the Church - and LGBT community...
0:17:12 > 0:17:16- ..is a difficult subject that's - been kept out of the public eye.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- All One In Christ aims is to address - the change in attitude.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25- The film's premiere is being - screened at St Asaph Cathedral...
0:17:25 > 0:17:27- ..which is testament to this change.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29- It's also a historic moment.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Here's a clip of the film, - All One In Christ.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38- For many years, I lived in fear - of the church members...
0:17:40 > 0:17:42- ..knowing my own sexuality.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48- I spent year after year - covering up who my partner is.
0:17:49 > 0:17:54- It's certainly an unconventional - and bold evening for the Church.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- Yes, it's a unique opportunity.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- Some are surprised that - we're holding this event...
0:18:01 > 0:18:03- ..and others are delighted about it.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- But as the mother church - of the diocese...
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- ..we have a duty to give everyone - a chance to be here.
0:18:11 > 0:18:16- We welcome the screening of the - film and incite the discussion.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20- I'd say this is one of many evenings - to come.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26- It's a great location to screen - the film and start the discussion.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- I couldn't be myself.
0:18:31 > 0:18:36- And the Church did me, up until - that point, a lot of damage.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- I didn't believe that God loved me.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- I thought I wasn't worthy or good - enough to be living or breathing...
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- ..never mind a priest in the church.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- I'm friends with Mike and Sarah - who feature in the film.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- I'm good friends with some of them.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- They were very brave - to talk about their stories.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- Both their stories - are quite enthralling.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- I've just seen the film - for the first time.
0:19:06 > 0:19:12- I'm proud that we can come together - at the cathedral and watch the film.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17- Christ's love for us - is central in our faith.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25- The film reflects how the Church - accepts individuals...
0:19:26 > 0:19:32- ..who were considered different, - disowned and mocked in the past...
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- ..because of - their personal journey in life.
0:19:42 > 0:19:48- I'm part of Changing Attitude Wales - who have organized tonight's event.
0:19:48 > 0:19:53- Hopefully, these films will assist - in changing attitudes...
0:19:54 > 0:19:59- ..within the Church in Wales and - beyond, towards the LGBT community.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- It's been a momentous evening - for the Iris Prize.
0:20:04 > 0:20:09- We've worked with Changing Attitude - in the hope to make a change.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- The term, 'historic' - is often used loosely...
0:20:14 > 0:20:18- ..but that word - is befitting for tonight.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- Once they heard our stories - from our own mouths...
0:20:25 > 0:20:30- ..they have been so different - and so loving and so accepting.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34- And we do belong to a very - conservative congregation.
0:20:35 > 0:20:40- If they can learn to love us then - there's hope for us in the Church.
0:20:44 > 0:20:49- You may recall Lowri Roberts - from Siop Cwlwm visiting our studio.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- As it happens, Jon Gower was on - the programme that same night.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56- They hadn't met before...
0:20:57 > 0:21:01- ..and Jon said he'd visit her shop - to sign his new book.
0:21:02 > 0:21:08- Jon kept his word and holds a book - signing session at Siop Cwlwm...
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- ..on Saturday from midday to 2.00pm.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17- Heno is delighted to create - such alliances and events!
