CofE minister criticised for homosexual pride service
A Church of England minister has come under fire for holding an “LGBT+ Service” to mark the city’s homosexual pride celebrations.
Revd Canon Dr Neal Barnes, Vicar of Hull Minster, held an evening service on 21 July to coincide with Pride in Hull and the 50th anniversary of the Sexual Offences Act 1967.
The event included an address by Canon Rachel Mann, a transsexual activist who lives as a woman. Mann was born male but describes himself as a lesbian.
