I listened to very moving account this morning on radio of a man explaining of the moment he 'came out' as a homosexual. He was a steel worker, working with men who were used to tough manual work, as he was. During a discussion about Elton John, the men were making unpleasant remarks about Elton's homosexuality and this chap blurted out that he too was homosexual. Complete silence ensued followed by terrible verbal abuse of this man that continued for the rest of the time he worked in the steel works. Eventually he left the job.

I fully understand what the Bible says about homosexuality and happily line myself up with its truth, however I also note the Bible condemns bitterness, wrath, evil speaking, selfish ambition, dissensions, envy, back-biting, shall I go on?

What a glorious truth we remember this Easter, that Jesus, the Son of God died for ALL, no exceptions, just ALL. I am proud to be a part of a church that does its best to be inclusive and still preaches the Bible in all its fullness.

The reality is that"God so loved the World that He gave us His Son"
