How Vital Are The Arts?

If you're in need of a passionate pep talk about how vital the arts are, and how each one of us has something extremely valuable to contribute, then this is the podcast for you. This week we spoke with Rev Dr David William Parry, a published author, poet, dramatist, TEDx speaker, and queer pastor of Valentine’s Hall, a Metropolitan Community Church Oasis founded in South London. He is also the co-founder and curator of Extremists Club which later became Free Speech Club, a project he talks about in the episode that brought people from all walks of life together in discussion. In this episode we talk about how we’ve never needed the arts more than right now, the power the arts have in bringing people from different lines of thought together, and we were even gifted an impromptu recitation of David’s first poem, Miranda!
