Our Pastoral Leaders
Del (she/her)
Hi, I’m Delyth, I’m a Methodist minister and Coordinating Chaplain at Cardiff University. I’m passionate about equality, diversity and inclusion. My work with the LGBTQ+ community has involved working with Pride Cymru and being listed on the Wales Online Pinc List 2019. God’s love and grace is there for each one of us, whomever we love and whatever our gender.
In The Gathering I focus on emotionally supporting and caring for LGBTQ+ folks and enabling conversations about our faith in God in relation to our sexuality or gender.
G (he/him)
Hi, I'm G, I have done quite a bit of engagement work with the trans community, and take a particular interest in how we can make The Gathering inclusive particularly for our trans siblings. I’ve been proud to have been a part of The Gathering since it’s formation, and have really enjoyed arranging guest speakers, setting up some of our social media, and helping with the arrangements for the Faith Tent at Pride Cymru! I love meeting new people and can’t wait to meet you.
Nici (they/them)
Hi, I'm Nici and I'm a founding member of The Gathering. I identify as queer/gay and am gender non-binary using they and them. I'm also an elder at City United Reformed Church (URC) (where The Gathering currently meet) and was instrumental in creating an open and affirming policy in 2001 allowing all to be welcomed through the doors. I am passionate about equality and believe church is for everyone who wants it.
Sam (he/him)
Hi, I'm Sam! I grew up in an independent, evangelical church and now worship both at The Gathering and in my parish, Anglican Church. I joined the Pastoral Leadership Team in September 2018.
I am passionate about contemplation and reflection, and about using a lot of worship music in my services. I am also currently studying a Bachelor of Theology in St Padarn’s Institute, Cardiff.

Hi, I'm Helen. I work part time at The Gathering as our Church Link Worker.
