Badshot Lea and Hale

We extend a special welcome to those who are single, married, divorced, widowed, gay, trans, filthy rich, comfortable or dirt poor.

We extend a special welcome to wailing babies and excited toddlers.

We welcome you whether you can sing like Pavarotti or just growl quietly to yourself. You’re welcome here if you’re ‘just browsing’, just woken up or just got out of prison. We don’t care whether you’re more Christian than the Archbishop of Canterbury or haven’t been to church since Christmas ten years ago.

We extend a special welcome to those over 60 but not grown up yet, and to teenagers who are growing too fast. We welcome football mums, ballet dads, starving artists, tree huggers, latte-sippers, vegetarians, junk food eaters. We welcome those who are in recovery or still addicted.

We welcome you if you’re having problems, are down in the dumps or don’t like ‘organised religion.’

We welcome those who are inked, pierced, both or neither. We offer a special welcome to those who could use a prayer right now, had religion shoved down their throat as kids or got lost in the village and wound up here by mistake.

We welcome pilgrims, tourists, seekers, doubters… and YOU!
