So, it starts.

As expected, the sexual orientation regulations give rise to prosecutions against the church for obeying scripture. In my opinion, some of these prosecutions will be malicious, ie provoked as part of a planned campaign, simply to push the church into the world rather than on the merits of the case itself.

I cannot understand why the church should be obliged to employ people who oppose its doctrines. (Note it is not a matter of the person's orientation, it is a matter of their theology and practice concerning that orientation)

Perhaps the church should also be prosecuted for not appointing muslims to the synod? Or Satanists?

Perhaps Manchester United should be required to pay Steven Gerrard to kick balls into the United goal?

Perhaps the Tory party should be obliged to employ communists to prepare party policy?

Perhaps America should put Bin Laden in charge fo national security?
