HAS WON THE SUPPORT OF MOST OF HIS CONGREGATION AND THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND'S RULING BODY BY 326 TO 267 VOTES.

HE IS OPENLY GAY AND LIVES WITH HIS LONG TERM PARTNER.

HE'S ENTITLED TO LIVE HIS LIVE LIKE ANYONE ELSE, ISN'T HE?

I say good for him!!!!!!!!

YES HELEN.

I should flipping well coco.

He has just as much right as anyone else to do the job in my opinion, without risk of discrimination or recrimination.

Yes, I agree with you. Just by being a homosuxual, doesn't mean he does not believe in God, any the less. I say this, but have a brother in law who
is a very high up in the Church nof England, you wouldn't believe how high,and I do not for one minute think he would sanction this
Julia in Derbyshire

WELL, IT IS THE 21ST CENTURY AFTER ALL.

WHAT'S THE BIGGEST SIN?

BEING AN OPENLY GAY MINISTER
OR AN ABUSIVE ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good for him , I believe he was married to a woman

Yes:o))))

I thought the most important thiing about being a Christian was how you treated others, not your sexual orientation.

So - good for him! I admire him for his honesty. Good luck to the man.

The progress of our intellect has loosened some of us from many of our ethical & family traditions.

I don't understand why we in this day and age are talking about Gays.Homosexuality has been part of society (even if hidden) as long as Man has walked the earth.I think a lot of people just live blinkered lives.

Helen,

Nor do I , but if you could take a day off and visit Portugal you will see a very big picture of the attitude of closed minded people...

Taking into consideration that thirty years ago they were still under a dictor's regime..

I believe it is not easy for some people to change...

Lindy :(

Did I kill this thread..??

Oops, it was not my intention.

Lindy ;))

no you didn't kill it Lindy - I do that!! Good luck to the minister from Aberdeen

NO LINDY YOU DIDN'T LOL

MAYBE SOME PEOPLE WANT TO KEEP THEIR THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS TO THEMSELVES, THAT'S ALL

CRIKEY, I BETTER NOT SAY ANYTHING ELSE, OR I MIGHT START SOMETHING LOLOLOL

HIYA ANN

Dear All

I frankly do not care if a priest/vicar is gay, providing they can serve the community and do their job.

Best wishes.

Openly homosexual or openly heterosexual - if these terms are not relevant anymore and, presumably, are not questions on the job application, then why this thread?

These days, we seemed to be judged in terms of money & status.

BUT THEY ARE ON APPLICATION FORMS NOWADAYS AND ALSO IF YOU`VE HAD A SEX CHANGE OP -I`VE SEEN THESE QUESTIONS ON FORMS I`VE FILLED IN !!!
