AT Elim Church, during a meeting held to discuss matters of concern to Christians, there was much discussion about homosexuality.

What was generally agreed was that we should be tolerant and accept the fact that homosexuality is a private matter.

People have a right, it was agreed, to live their lives, regarding sexual matters, as they wish.

We should adopt a sort of live and let live philosophy.

One member of the panel, which was made up of the town's MPs, and prospective Parliamentary candidates of other political parties, said that would be in effect loving our neighbour.

Of course there is nothing new in all this.

Mr J Adams, of Bloomsbury Close, Freshbrook, in a letter of his printed in the Adver a little while back, tells us that a poll revealed that 72 per cent of people regard homosexual behaviour as being neither right nor wrong, but was simply a fact of life.

He suspected that had a similar poll had been carried out in Sodom and Gomorrah the results would have been not dissimilar.
