Summary: Homosexual Law Changes (Press, 10 October 1985)
In a letter to the editor, Bruce Morrison commends Canon Greenslade for his bravery in advocating for continued support for a bill from the Christchurch Anglican Diocesan Synod concerning law reform related to homosexuality. Morrison raises a concern about how many clergy and church members who are resistant to such reforms have taken the time to engage meaningfully with homosexual individuals to understand their personal struggles and conflicts. He expresses a desire for greater understanding and connection, pondering what might change if people were to truly know him. Morrison criticises some churches for categorising homosexuals as deviants and immoral yet claiming to extend love to them. In contrast, he values Canon Greenslade’s more genuine expression of love and support for the homosexual community. The letter is dated 8 October 1985.
