Karen Rooms and Jay Hulme - The Gayest Church in the City (N272)

<p>Priest Karen Rooms and transgender poet, author and educator Jay Hulme describe what it's like for them to be part of an ancient and LGBTQ+ affirming church. As they recall the story of their developing friendship, their conversation guides us through the pandemic, Jay's early faith experiences and Karen's reflections on being a cisgender heterosexual woman entrusted with the care of a diverse and fully inclusive congregation. With humour, insight and creativity they offer a unique perspective on what it could mean to be church.</p> <p>Conversation starts at 18m 23s </p> <p><a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/">Show Notes</a> →</p> <p>Nomad is able to produce conversations like this one because a group of faithful listeners help us pay the bills.
