I stumble upon this enjoyable, instructive and ultimately life-affirming documentary on Channel 4 this evening: an Anglican priest in a London parish decides to declare his sexual orientation during a Sunday sermon to his congregation about homophobia. It's a low key, understated, sensitive programme - and really rather touching. It foregrounds the common assumption that faith and sexual orientation are mutually incompatible equalities, freedoms or rights. Both, of course, are included among the "protected characteristics" recognised in the Equality Act 2010. It was good to see them inseparably bound together here in one person.
Find out more about this programme on the
Channel 4 website ; read a review on the
Mirror's website.
how one can devote so much of their time, their life, to an organisation that impedes their living, will never make sense to me.
