Clang!

[wildeabandon]

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.

Hmmm, doesn't seem to have come through... try realname (first/sur, no capitals or full stops) @ cantab?

[wildeabandon]

Huh, that's what I used. (Assuming the first name that you actually go by rather than the longer name I assume it's shortened from, and that you didn't change your surname on marriage.) Perhaps it's just wending its way through the ether - I haven't had a bounce at any rate.

It has turned up after wending its way, and a reply shall be forthcoming shortly :D
