I really enjoy certain elements of church but I find it very offputting when the pastors/ priests get into very dogmatic sermons about non believers going to Hell etc.. are there any churches worth checking out that are progressive and also diverse/ inclusive.. so not just all-white, have PoC etc

  2. London is 12+ million people, so yeah, tons of progressive churches among the many many churches.

    Very very very rare that even non-progressive churches have ‘hellfire’ stuff.

    It’s all lovey-dovey these days.

    More or less all churches in London are diverse, because the population of London is diverse.

    Any denomination preferred? High or low?

    If you tell me which bit of London you are in, I might be able to suggest.

  3. I’ve not been to church for many, many years. But it might be worth checking out HTB (holy trinity Brompton), I think it’s in South kensington but can’t quite remember. From what I remember that would probably do what you’re asking

  4. Are you British? I ask because the majority of churches in Britain are soft and progressive that you would have to actively seek out churches where the vicar or priest acts out the “fire and brimstone” type sermon.

    EDIT: In fact i think churches with more POC would be the more hardline than the ones filled with old white congregants

  5. Metropolitan Community Church is probably what you want – large gay contingent, people from varied backgrounds.

    If the leader is called a pastor, that often signals some of the less-friendly evangelical sects.
