Changing Attitudes Launch Parish Welcome Leaflet
A parish welcome leaflet aimed at helping gay and lesbian people and their families find a warm welcome in their parishes was launched on the fringes of General Synod. The Dean of Christ Church Cathedral, the Very Revd Dermot Dunne, performed the launch at St Audoen’s Church in Cornmarket.
Speaking at the unveiling of the leaflet the Dean said that the information it contained was important. He added that people should not be defined by their sexual orientation. “Sexuality is very complex and varied. So we should be careful not to draw hard lines. The important thing is that we all live our own truth and respect one another,” he said.
The launch of the leaflet published by Changing Attitudes Ireland was followed by a showing of ‘Love Free or Die’, a documentary on the ministry of Bishop Gene Robinson and the debate on gay bishops and gay marriage in the Episcopal Church.
