About David Ayliffe
David has had an interesting career. Passionate about social justice he got waylaid in a fundamentalist cult for some years. Ended up heading it after "God" died, and then led a process that saw it wound up and "God" denounced. Wrote about it in "My Brother's Eyes" with my brother John. (Available on Spotify and other streams, paperback from David, Amazon wants $70 for copies they don't have!) Podcaster of No Sex Please - I'm Religious, and run a disability business. Worried about fascism in the world and working hard to get my global children's kindness movement off the ground. www.zorzle.org Wondering what to do with my spare time.
