The Reverend Richard Coles is the guest interviewee in “Letter to My Sixteen Year Old Self” in the gay friendly and weekly published street paper The Big Issue. Rev Coles reveals something of the intense experience of being in the Communards, a band who scored several immense hit singles in the middle nineteen eighties. He felt a calling to the Church during the nineties and trained as a priest, today looking after a Northampton Parish. He remains openly gay and a beacon for LGBTQ Christians everywhere. Rev Coles also delights many audiences in his many television and radio apperances and is firm regular on the BBC's speech based network BBC Radio 4.
