The Village MCC will host Brandon Robertson again as he visits the UK to promote his latest book “Our Witness: The Unheard Stories of LGBT+ Christians”.
The event will feature readings from Brandon whose personal story is contained in the book, a presentation about the harm of non-inclusion and the new queer revival spreading throughout Christianity. There will be time for question and answers.
Brandan Robertson is an author, pastor, thought-leader, and contemplative activist working at the intersections of spirituality, sexuality, and social renewal.
Rev Michael Hydes, Senior Pastor of the Village MCC, said: “I’m really excited that The Village MCC is hosting Brandan Robertson again. His last visit was inspiring and his book Nomad a very welcome addition to my library of well-read books.
Since then Brandan has written True Inclusion: Becoming Communities That Embrace All (Chalice Press, 2017), and edited Our Witness: The Unheard Stories of LGBT+ Christians (Cascade Books, 2018).He has also become the pastor of the Mission Gathering Progressive Church in San Diego,USA and so I have no doubt has a wealth of new experiences and stories to share with us. I can’t wait to hear him speak!”
