How does a country on the one hand bend over backwards for the extremes of the left and the right and hope to provide for the great moderate field at the same time? Can you back special ethnic courts one day (with surgical removal of basic punishment practices like stoning, removal of appendages, etc.) and then cast aside the beliefs indigenous to your society and hope to continue to exist? Is this a result of guilt for their colonial past? Can they continue to squash all opinions that might judge anyone else for anything while at the same time monitoring everyone and attempting to create a national ID card database? How very Orwellian. Someone needs to send V for Vendetta to their government officals.
London, Feb. 12, 2008 (CWNews.com) - An Anglican bishop has been ordered to pay a heavy fine and undergo “equal-opportunies training” for refusing to approve the hiring of an openly homosexual man for a post in youth ministry.
The Cardiff Employment Tribunal on February 11 settled a discrimination case against Bishop Anthony Priddis of Hereford, ordering the bishop to £47,435 (about $92,000) in compensatory damages to John Reaney, who had complained that the bishop denied him a job as a youth worker because of his sexual orientation. The tribunal ordered that officials of the Hereford diocese who are engaged in hiring employees—including the bishop-- should be given training to make them more sensitive to homosexual applicants.
Bishop Priddis said that he may appeal the panel’s ruling.

Unreal. On one hand, they want Sharia law, and on the other, they want "equal opportunity" for open homosexuals.
ReplyDeleteI guess this will make it easier to identify the gays in order to stone them?
Certainly a point. Will they let them apply their sharia court rulings to homosexual activities?
ReplyDeleteCanterbury keeps accepting the "way things are" as a given instead of refusing to roll around in the muck and call the filthy cultural activities exactly what they are. Instead they seem happy to minimize the importance of Christendom, apologize for the less credible Biblical events, and do strange house blessing in an effort to gain street cred.
