    Question Romance In The Manse

    In the light of the Church of Scotland having upheld the ordination of a practising homosexual to a vacant charge in Aberdeen, it is widely expected he and his partner will, in due course, take up residence together in the manse.

    As it is customary for a minister to share some part(s) of his ecumenical responsibiliies with his "wife", perhaps the impending incumbent will arrange for his live-in partner to be appointed President of the Women's Guild!

    His ordination really did push through? What a shame
    I think this is a complete disrespect and mockery to what a church should stand for, in my opinion that is. Others may disagree, but to each his own.

    Many DID share your opinion, Sophie, believe me! Indeed I understand the Assembly received a petition containing the signatures of something like 1,500 protesters - among them, prominent and influential church dignitaries - yet, at the final count, their pleas appear to have been ignored and the controversial appointment ratified.
