We aim to be a church that is inclusive of all, welcoming everyone whether LGBTQ+  or straight and striving for diversity and equal representation of race and gender. This is our intention, though we are aware that we still have much to learn.  Everyone who comes to St Mary's is welcome on their own terms and encouraged to get involved in our ministries according to their gifts.  To avoid confusion though, this doesn't mean that we would necessarily endorse all aspects of wider political agendas, simply because our common basis of unity in the church is the kingdom of God.
