“If it was good enough for Jesus, then it is good enough for us” was the message from Bishop Bonnie Perry at a special service of Evensong to mark Pride in Dublin on Friday evening (June 13). Bishop Perry, who is XI Bishop of the Diocese of Michigan in the Episcopal Church of the United States of America, was the preacher at the annual service which is organised by Changing Attitude Ireland in Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin.
Bishop Perry said that when the early Christian movement was beginning to coalesce, before Saul became Paul but after the Holy Spirit drove the apostles into the streets speaking languages from near and far, the disciples Peter and John were out telling the story of Jesus’s death on the cross, his resurrection, of Jesus’s love and his forgiving of people’s sins.
