Hi,


I am a 40 year old ordained Baptist minister living in Newcastle. I currently drive a taxi and have started a spiritual discussion group in a gay bar in Newcastle.


I would like to plant a grace-based, inclusive church that is pentecostal/charismatic in orientation. If anyone is interested or knows people who would be interested in such a project please let me know.


A close friend came out as a lesbian at the end of 2004 and caused me to reevaluate the conservative theology of my college training.


I have since come to an accomodating, affirming position on the question of same-sex relationships and Christians.
