From The Times.

Top job for gay cleric By Ruth Gledhill, Religion Correspondent

DR JEFFREY JOHN, the gay canon forced to stand down as Bishop of Reading, is to be the next Dean of St Albans in an appointment that will generate shock waves throughout the Anglican Communion.
............ But David Virtue, the evangelical commentator who runs the influential website Virtuosity, said: ?This is an outrageous appointment. It is a backdoor attempt to make homosexuality mainstream in the Church of England.?

Oops!

LOL....ecclestiastical innocence.

And perhaps Mr Virtue (is that really his name?) might care to research his church's early history before making future comment.........

Many christians have an extremely poor knowledge of their religion. If there knowledge was better they would realise that Christ made no comment about homosexuality. It was not until St Paul came along it became an issue, and his comments are about as clear as his one about seeing through a glass darkly!

........had he been innocent, of course, he would have floated rather than drowned.

Are there any other sort of priests? No, seriously I worked in a place of pilgrimage and its unnerving just how many of them seem to be gay. Its like a cop out or something

Was the unfortunate pun too obvious? Only jj found it funny.
