Biography

[edit]

Szymon Niemiec was born on 5 October 1977 in Warsaw, Poland.[1]

Working as a reporter for the Puls Stolicy, Szymon Niemiec responded on 11 July 1998 to a happening at the site of Sigismund's Column, Old Town, which would become one of the first public manifestations in support of LGBT rights in Poland. Niemiec recalls spontaneously joining the protesters, who with covered faces held signs with names of their professions.

In the early 2000s, a progressive christian congregation, that would be welcoming to LGBTQ people, was founded in Warsaw by a Latvian pastor Ernest Ivanovs of the Free Reformed Church, who led the community until his departure in 2005. Szymon Niemiec, who was a member of the congregation, became its leader and a deacon afterwards. [After Ivanovs departure in 2005, Niemiec became a leader and a deacon of the Church.][2]


In 2012, he was ordained a bishop by Terry Flynn of the United Ecumenical Catholic Church in Portsmouth, England.[3]
