Debate Today: Is the bible really homophobic?
The Brighton and Hove lesbian gay christian movement are staging an event in January with Clive Gardener and Phil Moon debating whether the bible is really homophobic.Clive Gardner was a priest in the Church of England. He resigned two years ago after ‘come out’, feeling that it was incompatible to be seeking a gay relationship and being employed as an Anglican vicar, given the Church’s current views on homosexuality.
Phil Moon was ordained in 1985 and after a curacy in Crowborough he worked as the head of CYFA (the youth ministry of the Church Pastoral Aid Society) before going to be a vicar in Lowestoft. He moved to Hove in 2004 with his wife and four children, and is now the vicar of Bishop Hannington Church.
The debate is at St Nicholas Church, Dyke Road.
Tuesday January 27, at 8pm. Entry is free, but donations are welcome.
