Minister calls for radical change in the Presbyterian Church - 5-Nov-1995
It was reported in the NZ Herald that Rev Dick Holland, minister of the Ponsonby Presbyterian church, has nailed a list of grievances to the front door of the church, calling for the Church to adapt to modern lifestyles.
Included in the list Rev Holland accuses the Church of being hostile to non believers and perceived sinners, such as homosexuals, and being unable to deal honestly with conflict.
In unrelated news Rev Alan Brash's book "Facing our Differences" was released this week. This book challenges the church to accept on equal terms gays and lesbians.
