I’m a lesbian transgender woman and I wouldn’t call myself a Christian, agnostic would be the closest term to what I believe. However I would consider myself somewhat spiritual or at least open to spirituality, and I do find myself drawn to the sense of community that religion provides.

I live in Ireland and my city does have a weekly meeting but I’m still hesitant. Do you think it’s worth considering or have any other advice?

How do you all feel about newcomers (attending for a few months) coming to meetings for business (specifically Area Meeting in the UK)?

I’ve been invited to attend twice now by my local meeting’s elders but I feel awkward about it, like I shouldn’t be there! My family are pretty much the only younger people at our meeting so I think that may be part of why I’ve been asked.
