Since 2000 Anthony Venn-Brown has worked in the often volatile space of faith and sexuality and helped thousands of people resolve faith/sexuality conflict.

In a former life, Anthony was a leader in the Assemblies of God and high profile preacher in Australia’s mega-churches. He was a church planter, founder of Youth Alive NSW and established a successful national evangelistic ministry.

Anthony’s autobiography, ‘A Life of Unlearning – a preacher’s struggle with his homosexuality, church and faith’ became a best seller in Australia and the latest edition became No.1 on Amazon both for LGBT and religious biographies.

Anthony’s journey from high profile, ‘straight’ Christian preacher, resolving the perceived conflict between his faith and sexuality and now an ambassador for the LGBT community has given him unique insights.

Anthony speaks to a wide range of audiences about LGBTQ community issues by providing a comfortable space where people can ask the often-unasked questions. Anthony’s presentations are informative, entertaining and inspiring. Audiences quickly realise he is well informed and speaks from profound personal experience.

In June 2020 Anthony was awarded the Order of Australia Medal (OAM) for service to the LGBTIQ community.
