It isn’t just Scotland where there are people getting excited about the possibility of marriage law being changed to be more equitable you know.
Here’s a video of the Dean of St Alban’s speaking out for the cause down in Englandshire.
Rather well, he does it too, I think.
Now, when did you last hear anyone else be as articulate, sensible and godly in less than three minutes?
Didn’t a wise man once say that all clergy are camp ;-)?
