Anglicans (UK) grants full pension rights to gay clergy

Category: Religious NewsPolycarp @ 9:23 pm

Hot on the hills on affirming the break-away conservative Traditional Anglicans here in the U.S., the Church of England has now granted pension benefits to partners of gay clergy.

The Church of England’s governing body has passed a motion in favour of giving civil partners of deceased gay clergy the same pension entitlements as heterosexual widows or widowers.

The motion was put forward by the Rev Mark Bratton, priest at St John the Baptist church in Berkwell, near Coventry. It asks the Church of England Pensions Board to go beyond the requirements of the Civil Partnership Act 2004 and pay pension benefits to surviving civil partners of deceased clergy on the same basis as surviving spouses.

Under the terms of the Act, surviving civil partners are not entitled to benefits if their deceased partner ceased pensionable service before December 2005. At present, a widow or widower is entitled to a pension based on all of their deceased spouse’s pensionable service.

Americans’ Role Seen in Uganda Anti-Gay Push

Category: Religion and PoliticsPolycarp @ 12:59 pm

Last March, three American evangelical Christians, whose teachings about “curing” homosexuals have been widely discredited in the United States, arrived here in Uganda’s capital to give a series of talks.

….

The three Americans who spoke at the conference — Scott Lively, a missionary who has written several books against homosexuality, including “7 Steps to Recruit-Proof Your Child”; Caleb Lee Brundidge, a self-described former gay man who leads “healing seminars”; and Don Schmierer, a board member of Exodus International, whose mission is “mobilizing the body of Christ to minister grace and truth to a world impacted by homosexuality” — are now trying to distance themselves from the bill.
