MCC? Isn’t that a cricket club?

It was good to have a month off from writing, but I’m now back, pounding away on a keyboard, and I must say thank you to Don for that break!  Last month he wanted to update his story first published here in September 2021.  For many years the Metropolitan Community Church in Glasgow has attendedContinue reading “MCC?

The wrong end of the stick?

Over the last three months we’ve explored the major Old Testament clobber passages frequently used to condemn those who identify as homosexual/gay, and now we turn to the New Testament passages.   The full list of passages commonly used to condemn those who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community are: Genesis 1 & 2 (CreationContinue reading “The wrong end of the stick?”

Turning a Fish into a Badger???!

Probably the most bizarre  title so far – and two pictures, but all will become clear eventually!  This is the fourth blog in the series where I am revisiting the themes I addressed in my original essay, but in a shortened format.  Last time we looked at the story of Sodom and Gomorrah – aContinue reading “Turning a Fish into a Badger???!”

Where do I find the answers?

This month I have resisted the urge to write anything about the loss of our late Queen because so many have been doing that recently, and with much greater skill.  I also decided against writing about the economic and governmental woes we are facing. Again, I’m not really qualified to comment with authority.  However, thereContinue reading “Where do I find the answers?”

Reflecting on my Pride

(Just like last month, as a bit of fun, look out for the hidden rock/pop song titles!) When I released my last blog, it was mere hours before a Pride March – my first “Pride” March (though not my first march), and since then I’ve been to a second.  So, what were the experiences like? Continue reading “Reflecting on my Pride”
