They're great! A really lovely church! Also, they've counter-protested the homophobes during the pride march for the last few years now and we absolutely love them for it! They do God's work, in so many ways.

Awesome! Which church is she heading down with?

We can mail one over if you'd like?

But that's enough from us... Here's the introduction to this issue, to give you a little taste of what's inside!

If you want to find out more about 'Communion: A Queer Christian Zine', how it came into being, and how to share it with your own community, then you can go to stnicholasleicester.com/magazine

"Communion" is designed to cover a range of inclusive Christian thought and serve a wide audience, with articles ranging from the deeply academic to the very silly, and there's even a crossword!

As part of the ethos of radical sharing all of the contributors have offered their work for free.

We regret we're unable to livestream the service due to a combination of technological and privacy constraints.

On Sunday we're celebrating our annual Rainbow Eucharist, a joyous celebration of the diversity of God’s creation.

The Preacher this year will be Fr Jarel Robinson-Brown, Author of 'Black, Gay, British, Christian, Queer'.

Come as yourself, and be who God created you to be.

You can find out more about these, and all of our events, at stnicholasleicester.com/whats-on
