Community and Sacred Space
Jay Hulme is an award winning transgender performance poet, speaker and educator. Jay’s most recent collection of poetry, The Backwater Sermons, details his journey through faith and baptism. Jay often goes on “Church Adventures”, seeking out, photographing, and sharing the incredible stories and breathtaking beauty of churches and cathedrals and firmly believes that every church is beautiful and important, regardless of age, architecture, or historical significance, because every church is loved by those who worship there. Jay’s talk will feature his exploration of these sacred places of worship and their communities and his poetry.
