• New Statement from College of Bishops

    There’s a new statement from the College of Bishops today about same-sex marriage.

    It can, and should, be read in full – see here: College of Bishops Guidance re Marriage 2014

    I’m appalled by its contents and in particular appalled at the way the Bishops of the Scottish Episcopal Church are treating gay clergy and lay readers in the church. The homophobic bullying of candidates for ministry – ordinands and candidates for lay readership is particularly unpleasant.

    I expect I will have more to say, in many ways and in many places.

One response to “What people are looking for”

    Humourous reading for Mothers’ Union- dunno, but the childbirth song is rather fun http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EM2CORdyv8k
    Pretty sure Lucy Winkett isn’t married
    Don’t know about the rest.
    I once did a post called “women in bondage”- ie concerning verses saying women are not allowed to speak/ teach in church. Big mistake as now “dominatrix” is one of my top search terms.
