Threats against a priest for being a woman
Turbulent Cleric (Free subscription) | 02/10/2008
This intimidation of the Reverend Yvonne Hobson at Paul in Cornwall nakes for sad reading. I hope the perpetrator is caught and dealt with by the legal system as soon as possible.

'Tessa, Alicia and Becca have just been surfing at Polzeath on the north Cornish coast. They are all 18, they all talk in a manner that would do the BBC World Service proud, they are all staying just a few miles away in Rock. And they all like my clothes. But… “But'” I say. “Well,” says Tessa, carefully. “Are they meant to be on you? Or, you know, on somebody younger?” Ah. Ouch. Ah and ouch. For I...
