About Grosvenor Park United Church
MARC TROTTIER
As someone who studied for over seven years to become a priest, I’ve really appreciated the opportunities Grosvenor’s given me to utilize my training and gifts. Congregants are encouraged to take part in leading worship, so I’ve given the Reflection from time to time. And I enjoy proclaiming the word. For me, this means reading scripture aloud in such a way that the meaning of the message contained in the text is better understood by the people.
The consensus process used in a United church, and the Council-Committee governance is hard to get used to, coming from the Catholic way of doing things, but of course, there’s lots to like! I first attended Grosvenor in December of 2011. My then partner and I were looking for a church where we could be ourselves. And he wanted to leave his conservative church where homosexuality was unacceptable. We’d heard this place was an affirming congregation, so we came two Sundays in a row and made the decision very quickly. To this day, the fact that I’m welcomed here unconditionally, just as I am, and that others are too, that’s what keeps me coming back.
Why didn’t I become a priest? Well, in my last semester of seminary I concluded that I was gay. And I came out. But that didn’t sit well with one priest who deemed me to be an inappropriate candidate. Eventually I forgave him and I’ve moved on. I don’t have a problem with the larger church and when I go back to my hometown, I’m still a practising Catholic.

β β β β β Would have gave 5 stars but the pride colours on the steps are in the wrong order, which is odd because when you turn your head and look at the church sign the colours are correctly displayed..if this is a joke its done in very poor taste.verv disrespectful to the community!!!!
