Rev Sharon Ferguson is a pastor with the Metropolitan Community Church in Camden, North London, a parish, she notes, is “noted for its peace and justice work”. It is part of the Gospel requirement that as Christians we should be combating injustice, and standing up for the oppressed.

“My whole life is about campaigning for equality and justice as a pastor in a parish that is known for its social justice work,” she added.
“It’s part of my daily life to challenge discrimination, but with this campaign what is really nice is that it’s about love.”
