A yearly tradition at St John's since 2016 - Pride Evensong.
We offer the traditional choral evening service at the conclusion of Pride Week, celebrating and affirming all sexual orientations and gender identities, and mindful of the struggles that have been and are still being faced to bring inclusion and equality to Queer folk everywhere. Choral Evensong is an expansive and contemplative service offering beautiful music, and space to think, to pray, and to listen.
An address will be given by Niall Barnard, the Venerable Alastair Singh-McCollum will officiate, and the Choristers of St John the Divine will sing music largely written by LGBTQ+ composers.
No matter how you identify, or how you understand the Divine, you are very welcome.
Please know that this is a safe space for all, sponsored by a progressive and welcoming church, and no religious participation is required.
