Urban Hermitt #22 is great. It's all about Hermitt's search to find a church where the pastor does not spout homophobic rhetoric. He ends up at a "hipster church" where Aphex Twin thuds on the speakers and soymilk is available with the free coffee. The anecdotes Hermitt relates are of feeling frustrated when the pastor denounces paganism and Buddhism, or talks about how having a traditional family is the zenith of weirdness. At these moments Hermitt senses that the church-goers can tell that he's, as he puts it, "a freaky queer". Issue #22 is about finding a place to worship when you feel the most spiritual while running a marathon, or meditating on a rooftop. Oh and Hermitt also wants you to know that zines are not dead!
