Protest disrupts bishop's sermon
How very disappointing, that some people aren't even prepared to listen to Gene Robinson, indeed they have even gone specifically to a sermon where they know he will be speaking specifically to heckle him. How very unchristian.

Guardian NewsBlog: Gene Robinson 'saddened' by London church heckler
The presence in the UK of the first openly gay Anglican bishop has highlighted the schism within the church
July 14, 2008 1:13 PM
The openly gay US bishop whose consecration has led to a split in the Anglican church today said he was overcome with sadness after being heckled while giving a sermon at a church in south-west London.
It is not surprising that Gene Robinson's visit to the UK has been surrounded by controversy. Last month, conservative evangelicals representing half of the world's Anglicans launched a new global church because they were unhappy at the "militant secularism and pluralism" which led to Robinson being installed as the bishop of New Hampshire.
Yesterday, he was preaching at St Mary's Church in Putney when he was interrupted by cries of cries of "repent" and "go back to your own church".
Robinson said: "I must say I was really overcome and got quite tearful afterwards with sadness for this young man. He clearly felt very strongly about what he believed. I thought, you know, there is this place in his heart that has been filled up with all this darkness and it could be filled with love."
In a discussion on QueerYouth, YuffieKisaragi writes: "How very disappointing, that some people aren't even prepared to listen to Gene Robinson, indeed they have even gone specifically to a sermon where they know he will be speaking specifically to heckle him. How very unchristian."

What a f***ing shame!!! How long did it take for someone to tell him to shut up or go?? I bet if Gene Robinson was coloured instead of gay, I wonder how they would have treated him then?
Well done Adam!!!
