My story starts in the church; I grew up in a fundamentalist environmental, where there was a prominent ‘us’ and ‘them’ mentality, the ‘saved’ versus the ‘unsaved’.

Churchgoers versus the ‘unchurched’.

It was deliberate because the bar to entry was belief in Jesus and it was particularly strong in the tradition which the church I attended had grown out of.

When I found out that my (recently ex-)boyfriend had committed a serious crime, I didn’t choose to leave straightaway.
