I suspect there is more to this story than meets the eye. Religious freedom is a protected characteristic and just reading out the verse would not have been enough to justify a complaint. I fail to see how stopping him preaching forced him to stop gardening. Chaplains in prisons do have to be careful - their congregations cannot simply choose another church if the preacher is being homophobic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795284845836270713.post-2977312545000793632015-11-05T15:05:16.929+00:002015-11-05T15:05:16.929+00:00I must say, though, old Paul did have a bit of a t...I must say, though, old Paul did have a bit of a thing about sexual sin, didn't he? In a list of ten shortcomings destined to land the perpetrator in hell, four are about sex. I call 40% a pretty large minority.
