I went in there looking for a priest for my friend to figure out if they have any attachment to them, not specifically for the spiritual reason, but then realised it was LGBTQ+ inclusive so we felt instantly accepted and went inside to find no priest, but instead were faced with instant tranquility. Me and my friend sat in the pews for a bit just to take it in, and we just sat there for the next hour or so and didn’t want to leave. I’ve identified with Christian before, but suppressed that due to not feeling like I fitted in and bad experiences with other Christians because I was queer, but it came back then. I don’t quite know if it made me Christian fully, but definitely made me and my friend changed people and me and my friend are definitely returning. Would recommend to all, even if you’re not Christian.

Beautiful church and lovely history, incredible service on Sunday. Very respectful and welcoming to everyone. Me and my daughter love messy church on the 1st Sunday of every month which is amazing. Thankyou every member of the church for making us feel so welcome! :)

While living in London ...Dad was assigned to the US Embassy, a cousin and I dud a trip to Canterbury for a project she was working on. While there we visited St Dunstan's Church and discovered it was where Thomas Moore's head rested in the Roper family vault. A more personal historical date..on one of the markers I found someone who sadly passed away on my birthday...it was an odd feeling

My trip To Canterbury was eventful. The first thing I Noticed In the city was the quiet and serenity. It is a big city yet so small You could walk every corner of the town. I Am Sure going Back. ❤️
