MY GOD!
I LOVE WORDS
I came to Christianity late. I'd been brought up as a Jehovah's
Witness, was kicked out for being gay when I was 20, and after that
wanted nothing at all to do with any kind of organised religion. Then
when I was 29 I had a 'God' experience and began looking for a
church. I found the Metropolitan Community Church of North London.
Mainly LGBT folks gathering together each week to worship, a
community of people coming from lots of different backgrounds,
blending their traditions to form something unique. Eventually I
accepted a call to ministry and studied Theology at Kings College,
London.
They can be the chocolate of the literary world. Full of flavour, and
nuance, they speak to us in ways that we sometimes can not verbally
articulate.
