“I am Hodder”

The Rev Gwyn Hodder, responded to his welcome to the Ministry of Park Street Methodist church Wombwell last night and said that of many queer folk he was the queerest they would meet, adding: “You might be odd, but I am Hodder.”

He said he intended to put his cards on the table, without them there was nothing he disliked more than to hear people talking when they have nothing to talk about.
