This study investigated the religious experiences of sexual minorities. It has investigated methods of biblical interpretation that have been used in the debate regarding same-sex attraction. As there are a few Scriptural passages that have been used in this debate, this study has conducted biblical exegesis on these texts. With proper exegesis, the cultural background of these texts could be determined and their reference to homosexuality better understood. The South African history regarding same-sex attraction was briefly investigated to determine the current social climate. The relationship between sexual minorities and the DRC was investigated to determine if there are acceptance and inclusivity. The religious experiences of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender persons were investigated to determine how their faith has been influenced by either positive or negative attitudes of religious people. This study distinguished commonalities in their experiences and used these to investigate relevant techniques for pastoral care and counselling. The aim of this study has been to determine how to pastorally care for LGBTQ+ persons and to investigate the availability of such care in the DRC.
