What if sacred spaces were built to truly include everyone? SANCTUARY follows an architect’s visionary project that becomes a refuge for LGBTQIA+ individuals turned away by faith systems. Alongside this inspiring journey, religious scholars and leaders share how they’re transforming institutions to embrace the marginalized and redefine what it truly means to belong.
