So proud of St Mary’s folk and friends yesterday. A very happy Pride parade through the streets of Glasgow giving out invitations to the Cathedral and generally having fun.
A whole rainbow of people connected to the congregation made it onto the street including church wardens, vestry members, young church folk, readers, LGBT group members and me.
A good time was had by all.
Here are some of the marchers by the stall in the marketplace:
The People’s Warden getting ready to mingle with the people of Glasgow
Kennedy Fraser, the dioesan rep on our Vestry and Lay Reader in Bishopbriggs
One of the Young Church members of St Mary’s teaching us how to do mission.
The afternoon crew at the stall in between answering questions and chatting to people in the crowd:
Lovely folks! Oh, do they make rainbow collars? You would certainly look striking in it! Of course you are striking in the black and white amongst all the other colorfully attired ones!
It was an honour to march in the light of God; an honour to be with others from St Mary’s and to be able to invite so many people to our church.
If one could like comments, I would like Franny’s
Yes, I agree with Rosemary and Franny! It was a great morning. I wish we’d managed to make it all the way around but I think our exit was well-timed. We even managed a nap after all the excitement.
