Sophie Cook

**Kickstarting the series of talks is Sophie Cook**, presenter and head of Latest LGBT+TV. Sophie is also the photographer for English rock band, The Libertines and premiership football team AFC Bournemouth.

Sophie has been receiving some rather unwelcome attention recently from *Christian Voice*, a nasty collection of Christians headed by a rather misguided man obsessed with all things LGBT+ called **Stephen Green**.

Sophie, who is also a motivational speaker will be talking at 6pm on Sunday, March 5.

**Other speakers during the month will include:**

♦ The author of *One Spirit*, Interfaith minister and teacher, **Rev Felice Rhiannon** (Sunday 12);
