The feelings against the appointment of a senior evangelical Black church leader to the Commission on Equalities and Human Rights (CEHR) continue to run strong on PinkNews.co.uk - understandably, because of his organisation's stance against homosexuality. I still think that there is opportunity, not just constraint, in all this. But it's going to be tough. I have responded to an accusation that this view amounts to excusing discrimination and mistreatment, on which Desmond Tutu has been rightly outspoken in a BBC broadcast due on 27 November 2007.
Religion is rarely out of the news. But how much of it is simply "bad faith" for humanity and the planet? Simon Barrow reflects theologically on current events (and cultural blips) from an engaged Christian perspective. FaithInSociety seeks a conversation between reason and hope, shaped by the subversive memory of the Gospel. (c) SB 2003-12.
