Dr Jeffery John

Dr Jeffrey John, the obvious choice to be the next Bishop of Southwark has been kicked into touch because he is gay.

The clerics of the Anglican church should rise up in indignation.

How much more humiliation and prejudice will they allow to be poured upon the gay and lesbian community and the inclusive Gospel of Jesus Christ?

Homosexuality is a God given blessing. Homosexual and heterosexual love, sexuality and marriage should have exactly the same status in law, in society and in the church.
