The Royal College of Psychiatrists, LGBTs & the Listening Process

[Anglican Mainstream] 26.11.07--AM received this response to the Royal College of Psychiatrists’ submission to the Listening Process. Because of the current PC regime, the author felt s/he could not send it to the Church Times. Given its content, we are pleased to put it up on our site. Though there is some UK-specific information, much below relates to issues which impact us all.

Of course I cannot comment on Professor King’s Christian credentials as I don’t know what they are, but I would be very suspicious of atheists or people of other belief systems, let alone those with no knowledge of what Christians believe, commenting on the way the Christian church should ‘lead’ - especially if it is not in the direction they would like! I was not aware that the Listening Process was in fact open to secular bodies - should this perhaps be extended to, say, other organisations like the National Secular Society, perhaps?
