Too Gay for God? (2019x142)

Uitzenddatum: Jul 11, 2019

A documentary exploring the place of the LGBTQ community within the Christian faith, and the Church of England in particular, through the perspective of the Rev Jide Macaulay, an openly gay member of the clergy. Jide is an ordained deacon and wants the Church of England to adopt a more inclusive position towards the LGBTQ community, with particular respect to same-sex marriages for members of the priesthood. He wants to know why he cannot marry his partner, so he sets out to meet people who have views on and experience of same-sex relationships within the Church of England, and seeks to understand the position of other Christian denominations.
