yes i’m aware this picture and the title makes me look incredibly gay. but my STRAIGHT, MARRIED FRIEND Nic Paton and I recently put together some backing music for the Agape Spiritual Community meeting. interesting gig. the instrument he’s playing is called a bazouki. Nic’s rapidly growing movement, The Sout Project is an eclectic, world emergent crew which aims to break down unnecessary boundaries. like the boundary between LGBTI and church, for example. and just in closing, once again, i’m not gay.
