Simon's Cross

Simon Bailey is the first Anglican clergyman to carry on his ministry while suffering from Aids. As the rector of Dinnington, he is parish priest in a close-knit former pit village in South Yorkshire. Simon has kept a video diary which reflects on how he is attempting to come to terms with his terminal illness. This moving documentary also shows how parishioners, at first shocked by the revelation that their rector was gay, have been changed by sharing his burden.
