Church: Love homosexuals too

THOUGH THE METHODIST CHURCH is not backing down from its position against homosexuality, it wants to teach Christians how to love unconditionally those who practise it.

To this effect, the South Caribbean Conference of the Methodist Church in the Caribbean and the Americas (MCCA) will be holding a three-day seminar later this month to tackle a number of issues relating to sexual orientation and gender identity.

Reverend Anthony Sobers, secretary to the South Caribbean Conference, said the event, from November 18 to 20 at Radisson Aquatica Resort, was a response from the church to the new structure of relationships evolving in today’s world.

He said last year the MCCA promised to better develop their members to be able to cope with the topic of gender identity since it was affecting the community. (RG)
