“Plenty of people who are in prayer groups at church have secretly watched and enjoyed Fifty Shades of Grey. However, they don’t feel that they can share that about themselves at church or in those groups. So they don’t share. And that they don’t feel that they can share that part of themselves is a problem. And it’s the church’s problem.”
― Patrick Friar, Stained Glass
