Clang!

So the big thing that happened to me over Christmas is that I was reading Black, Gay, British, Christian, Queer (which is excellent and I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone interested in the question of how the church (fails to) minister to its Black and LGBT+ members), and the big question mark over whether or not I have a priestly vocation, which I had been putting quietly to once side suddenly resolved itself into a clanging, "Yes".

"Oh. Bugger." I said.

What living out that vocation is going to look like in a church which is not yet willing to ordain people in same-sex marriages is going to take some figuring out. But apparently that's the next stage of my journey.

Congratulations and good luck? I'm not sure what the appropriate thing is to say here. I hope that you can find your path and feel like you're in the right place when you get to the end of it.

Thank you. One thing about this path is that no-one ever really gets to the end of it in this life, so the best I can hope for is feeling like I'm going in the right direction, but that will do.
