Amanda Higgin tells the story of Vicky Beeching – a Christian pop star who dropped a bomb on the conservative evangelical church when she came out as gay. Vicky had known she was gay since the age of 13 and had suffered the internal conflict familiar to young, gay evangelicals, including seeking out conversion therapy and even exorcism. Beeching hoped that by coming out she could show not only young, gay evangelicals but in fact everybody that the best gift of God is to be our whole selves. Being defiantly, fully herself lost her a successful career, global fame, and a strong platform, but it also healed her.

Jo Dolby speaks about the life of Bartolomé de las Casas as part of our Messy Table series. De las Casas believed that as a Christian he had a right and duty to participate in Spanish colonialism in the Indies. He came to realise, however, that the natives were human beings who ought to be treated with respect, and began to oppose colonial practices both politically and theologically. De las Casas is an example of how to change our minds, how to stop being part of systemic injustice and to advocate for those we have hurt. His story also demonstrates how important it is to recognise and honour the full, image-of-God humanity of those who are different to us, and the consequences when we do not.

Special guest speaker and the founder of Oasis, Steve Chalke will be talking about 'the virtue of stubbornness', as shown through the life and example of Violet Hedger. Violet was the first woman in the Baptist Union to formally train for ministry. She was recognised as a minister by her local community but faced social and institutional discrimination when she tried to gain training and recognition from the national body. She was eventually recognised several decades later by the same institution that first dismissed her, then learned from her. How can we persevere in our own vocation when we feel rejected by others? How can we seek support from our personal connections, local community, and church when we are struggling against a faceless institution? What does this story tell us about how institutions change and how the church is messy?
