6 months and 1 week, let’s look at the figures – @churchofireland #8ANoWay #gscoi

It is often said that

a week is a long time in politics.

This is certainly true. And very true in the life of the Church of Ireland.

Following the publication of our Open Letter yesterday in many Irish daily newspapers yesterday, including the News Letter, today it is reported that the Evangelical Fellowship of Irish Clergy has a petition which has nearly 500 signatures from across Ireland. Apparently, this was started late last year.

Well late last week a small group of LGBT Church of Ireland members started the Open Letter and petitions opposing Resolution 8A at this year’s General Synod. So let’s compare those figures again.
