  Two weeks ago, Peter Tatchell, a confirmed atheist, who is reported on the internet as having once said "not all sex involving children is unwanted, abusive or harmful", was a guest speaker at All Saints. As a longstanding member of the congregation, I strongly objected about this forthcoming event, but to no avail, so I decided there and then to leave this Church. I certainly do not regret my decision! Good Friday is a day of reflection on the suffering and sacrificial death of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Not the best time for our Parish Priest to choose to be flippant about the faith... What is happening to the Church of England? I am so sad and upset.

  Good grief! I'm pretty sure if I looked hard enough on the internet I could find a report quoting Fireman Sam reciting Mein Kampf.
  Phil Ritchie is a young, energetic, amusing and insightful man, father of three, husband and highly respected member of the local community. Put your prejudices aside - Peter Tatchell visited All Saints to give a talk on equality in marriage. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess it was THAT, which you took offense to.
  By the way, I'm an athiest and yet I go to church. Freaky, huh?

  I disagree on Tatchell. He should not have come to All Saints. He is an atheist Marxist and an enemy of religion. He has disrupted sacred ceremonies ordaining priests and opposed the Pope visiting the UK. Hardly a model of toleration and freedom of speech."
