honesty

Vaughan Roberts is one of my neighbours - not that I could claim to know him.  He's also the Rector of St. Ebbe's church in Oxford, which I think you'd have to say is close to the extreme end of the Evangelical party in the Church of England.  He's a council member of Reform, and that entails giving annual assent to a whole raft of fairly hard-line propositions.

So, his recent interview in which he describes his own same-sex attraction - he seems to be happy to identify it as a 'battle' - is noteworthy.  I don't at all agree with most of his approach or conclusions, but I must respect him for speaking up in this way.
