A bit about myself

My name is Ken Cornish and I have been involved with various Churches and denominations for the most part of my life.

An Elder with the United Reformed Church. Also a joint experiment with the United Reformed/Methodist, Tiverton. For eleven years Pastor of the Metropolitan Church in Exeter.

For a number of years I was in the Wilderness, not to say I had lost my faith, very much to the contrary.

I happen to be gay and have a Civil Partner, Shaun. I believe God created me that way, for a purpose, that is to help support and travel a journey with others like myself. I believe in the sanctity and value of all things living.

My Ministry now is a non-preaching, but listening, sharing and practical support, for all who come, and are weary, stressed, and questioning the meaning of life.

My Views

I believe I’ve grown spiritually. But I continue to have a problem with Religious History, from the inquisitions/Holy Wars!! To the bickering about women Bishops/gay pastors, policies on birth control - causing the spread of HIV/untold suffering in the third world. The cover-ups about abuse, the narrow-minds, the hypocritical self-righteous judgemental attitudes. All this is turning thousands away from God because of religion.

I believe Christian, Buddhist, Muslims and most of the off-shoot sects have more in common than differences and are on different pathways searching the same Creator, God. The disillusioned with no religious belief desperately seeking a meaning and purpose to life.

That is why I have created the Agape web site, providing a common space for those having travelled the road that may have also crossed the wilderness or have been excluded from the organised religions and sects because of race, sexuality etc.
