Clarification
Someone said they found my last posting ambiguous. Just to clear this up, I was poking fun, admittedly a little wicked, at the C of E. I think it is monstrous that the clerics of this Church waste their time worrying about the sexual orientation of both their clergy and lay members when there are far more important things they should be concerned with. But it is important for gay people in all churches not to feel that they are being alienated just because of their sexual orientation. This would be a most un-Christian act; if those entering into civil partnerships want to seek a Christian blessing on their union I fail to see that this is to be deplored
Sexual behaviour is another thing, but this applies equally to homosexuals and heterosexuals and there is no reason to believe that heterosexual promiscuity is unknown amongst C of E members! Or indeed amongst Catholics in case you think I am biased.
