Finding My Religion

Yet another church closure in a small Welsh mining community prompted the beginning of a painful journey.

At the age of twenty, experiencing rejection from the church and parishioners resulted in deep feelings of

shame. This was because of the realisation of my sexuality and the belief that it did not fit with the orthodox teachings of Christian faith.

These images explore abandonment and loss with the intention of helping others who have experienced

the same ostracization. Finding My Religion is also a journey of hope and was photographed

in two churches in the Parish of Eglwysilan: St Peters and St Ilans.
