Manage episode 428464195 series 2817992
Please send The RE Podcast a Text Message!
In 2021, the Methodist Church voted 692-51 in favour of gay marriages. Two years later, the first gay marriage was performed in a Methodist Church - I think they were expecting more of a rush! In this episode I chat to Rev John Squares who performed the ceremony between John and Les.

We discuss how gay marriage can be compatible with the Christian faith but more importantly, the need to love yourself before you can love others!
We also discuss the danger in extreme homephobic view points so a warning not to listen to this episode in front of young children or anyone who might be upset by it's content. Specifically we mention Matthew Shepard;
