Sparkle in the Cathedral

We would like to invite you to Sparkle in the Cathedral (10th July 2016). We are hoping to reach a wider transgender congregation this year. Allies are welcome too. This is the third year we are running the Sparkle service. This is not a separate event but the regular Sunday morning worship service which will welcome Sparkle visitors. We are hoping to initiate a dialogue and bring awareness about the transgender community within the Church. This year we also have a local transgender artist exhibiting her paintings at the Cathedral. Please do spread the word. Thank you.

Sparkle is the national annual transgender festival celebrated in Manchester. It is like pride though much smaller and but packed with interesting activities and information and free. A friend of mine in conjunction with ManchesterCathedral has organised this event. It is Sunday morning service followed by cake, coffee and conversation. The service is free to attend and open to everyone. We are hoping transgender people and their allies can find a safe  worship space in the heart of Manchester.

I friend and I were discussing the need for a prayer service in our mother tongue. She is Pakistani and I am Indian but we do speak the same language. This Tuesday 21^st February 2012 we have decided to have a prayer service in Urdu, Hindustani and Punjabi (for those of you who don’t know the tree languages aren’t that different from each other).

We are hoping to reach out to Christians from the sub-continent. Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis are invited. This is our first meeting, feel free to spread the word.
