Q - So can people still be gay?

A - In America they can be as God made them. In England they can be as God made them, as long as they don't act the way God made them. Any more questions?

  5. Can we claim to be Christian and at the same time accept any kind of discrimination? Am I being too logical? I ask this a puzzled, 72 year old believer who admits to having his doubtful moments.

  6. Discriminate against LGBT Anglicans because of "tradition", then lobby for the date of Easter to be changed thereby breaking with 1600 years of the same "tradition"... Houston, we have a problem...

  8. You can be as God made you without expecting to behave in any way you want to. That's the implication of "neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more"
