LGBT input sought for Church of Ireland stance on sexuality

In a letter to the people of the Church of Ireland dioceses of Cork, Cloyne, and Ross, to be published in the diocesan magazine next weekend, Bishop Paul Colton will encourage lesbian and gay people and their friends and families, to advise him on how best to put in place “a listening process” in the diocese.

The process is a key part of a national approach, adopted by the Standing Committee of the General Synod of the Church of Ireland, to the sexuality debate within the Church.
