Symon Hill

Symon Hill is a left-wing Christian activist. He describes himself on his Twitter page as "Queer, ecosocialist, pacifist." He is associate director of the Christian thinktank Ekklesia. he is author of The No-Nonsense Guide to Religion and regularly writes in The Guardian. He is bisexual, and got the BBC to correct an item describing him as gay.

He admits that on first becoming a Christian he campaigned against acceptance of gay relationships by the church, but has since recognised that he was wrong. In 2011 he walked from Birmingham to London, as a pilgrimage of repentance for homophobia.
