LETTER: The Church cannot remain silent on homosexual love
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From the Rev Struan H. Dunn
Sir: While you may applaud Bishop Derek Rawcliffe's self-disclosure of being homosexual as brave, there will be others, such as myself, who regard his comments as disloyal and divisive.
I suppose Derek Rawcliffe, as a retired bishop, is answerable to no one except God. It is a pity that instead of indulging in self-justification, he could not have spared a thought for the majority of parish priests who are accountable to their congregations week by week, and trying to hold the truths of the Christian gospel and defend the faith.
Yours faithfully,
STRUAN H. DUNN
