Are Charismatic Evangelical Anglican churches becoming more welcoming and open to LGBTQIA+ people?

At the moment there is a significant body of conservative and primarily evangelical movements, churches and individuals, members of General Synod, who are blocking progress towards marriage revision. My impression, after three weeks spent visiting almost every church in one area of London, is that significant movement towards a much more open and welcoming attitude to LGBTQIA+ people is occurring within some of the charismatic evangelical groups. Catholic, inclusive, progressive congregations, on the other hand, continue to be reluctant to commit themselves publicly and visibly towards full equality and inclusion for LGBQTI+ people.
