LISTEN TO REVEREND BRENT HAWKES' STIRRING LGBTQ TEDx TALK

By: The Reverend Brent Hawkes, C.M., Pastor of the Metropolitan Community Church of Toronto

We highly recommend the recent TEDx talk given by the Reverend Brent Hawkes. The title of his presentation is 'Spirituality and Sexuality'. In explaining his personal own story and those of others he has met throughout his life he has found that one does not have to choose between spirituality and sexuality, but rather that the two can co-exist. This is true regardless of one's sexual orientation.

As the Pastor of the Metropolitan Community Church of Toronto, Rev. Hawkes has been at the forefront of ministry to the Gay & Lesbian Community in Toronto. He serves as spiritual leader to a faith community of more than 600 congregants at regular Sunday worship. As well, he has served the community at large with distinction, championing several Human Rights initiatives, especially benefiting the Gay & Lesbian Community. Reverend Brent Hawke is a recipient of the Order of Canada.
