This week, former President Mary McAleese’s discontent with how gay and lesbian people are received in our Church was published. Also this week the Irish artist Hozier climbed international charts with his song Take Me to Church. Accompanied with a dramatic video, this song laments on how unwelcome some souls feel when at church. Mary Anne Stokes reflects on this and recommends the film For The Bible Tells Me So, as it presents the stories of many such people, who were not welcomed to the house of God.
