I'm very sad to announce that SJP will not have a presence in
Trafalgar Square this year on Pride Day. Unfortunately SJP can't book
a stall unless members are willing to man it. We didn't have any
volunteers except me.
However, we will have a general Pride Eucharist as part of the 11 am
service on Sunday 24th June. I have advertised it as part of the
London Pride Festival. So hopefully we will have LGBT visitors from
the festival at our Pride church services this year.
Our listing will say:
The St. James church community will be celebrating Pride with music,
singing, readings, a special message, and tea/coffee. Our community is
widely representative of attached and single people, gay and straight,
those who have a natural faith and those who struggle with belief. We
believe that in the Gospel is to be found a radical welcome, a great
and generous invitation to share in the banquet of God's creation.
Blessings
Richard.
