Sonia Hicks

Travellers Tales

It was many years before the family tried another local Methodist church, but it’s just as well they did because I’m sure Sonia is going to be an inspirational leader, and ambassador, over the year to come. And it might be a tricky one, the church having made the decision over the past few weeks to allow same sex marriage, a decision, she says, which, despite there being people who are delighted and think it’s well overdue, and those who are saddened and bewildered, doesn’t mean this is a point when the church has to break apart. She says ‘as Methodists, we’re about justice for all and not discriminating against anyone…I want to be a President for everyone, as together we seek to serve God.’
