The latest billboard of an Auckland church known for its controversial campaigns stirs the gay debate.
St Matthew’s in the City’s latest billboard depicts a “gay-dar” showing a spectrum from gay to straight with a cross acting as a meter.
An explanatory caption on the board states: “As used by the Anglican Church to assess potential priests.”
The Wardens, Vestry and Parishioners of St Matthew-in-the-City have also presented a petition to the Anglican Bishops asking them to reconsider their present policy regarding the ordination of gays and lesbians.
Currently New Zealand Anglican bishops refuse to consider any candidate for ordination who is gay or lesbian and in a committed relationship.
