Jean White

The Rev Elder Jean White (died 8 November 2010) was the founding pastor within the Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) in London.

She received her training as a State Registered Nurse at the London Teaching Hospital, Whitechapel, London. Later she received training as a Midwife in Bristol and at the Elsie Ingles School of Midwifery in Edinburgh, Scotland and undertook a course in Tropical Diseases at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases in Liverpool. In 1963-64, White studied at the International Bible Training Institute in Burgess Hill, Sussex, and in Stockholm, Sweden. In 1964 she went as a medical missionary to Macao. She served as a missionary in Asia from 1964-70. Three of those years were spent under “compound arrest” in the “no-man’s area”, between Macao and the mainland of China, during the Red Guard uprising.

As founding pastor of the MCC, White served on the denomination's Board of Elders and served the original Metropolitan Community Church of London for many years. She worked as director of World Church Extension of the denomination. She was pastor of MCC, South London, at the time of her death on 8 November 2010, aged 69, following a battle with pancreatic cancer. She is survived by her long-time partner, Mary Smail, an accomplished church musician and MCC lay leader.

Temptation

by: John Waite

When you tell me that you're leaving
And that you've got to be alone
Sometimes you seem to me like you're far away
In some different danger zone
I couldn't stop you if I wanted
You found somebody else for sure
What you don't know is I've found some love
Like some revolving door
Yeah
Temptation's gonna come into our lives
Gonna break up our happy home
Temptation
Me and you are going through it
And we should know better
To leave that thing alone
You always seem to be distracted
Just like your mind is somewhere else
If you don't wanna be alone with some strange guy
You're gonna wind up on the shelf
Yeah
Temptation's gonna come into our lives
Gonna break up our happy home
Temptation
Me and you are going through it
And we should know better
Yeah yeah
To leave that thing alone
Temptation's gonna go into our lives
Gonna break up our happy home
Temptation
Me and you are going through it
And we should know better
Yeah yeah
Temptation's gonna go into our lives
Gonna break up our happy home
Temptation
Me and you are going through it
And we should know better
Yeah yeah
