Looking for something to do over summer?

This is actively homosexual Episcopalian Bishop Gene Robinson and his boyfriend:
In a couple of weeks time (28th - 31st of August) the Greenbelt festival will be taking place at Cheltenham Racecourse. Greenbelt is primarily a Christian music festival though there are also speakers and workshops and so forth. This year Bishop Gene Robinson will be one of the speakers which has caused a bit of controversy in the protestant world with some evangelical groups calling for a boycott of the event.
Anglican Mainstream believes that young people could be led astray by Bishop Gene Robinson and other gay rights campaigners at the Cheltenham-based festival. It has also questioned the involvement of the Church Mission Society in the event, which attracts 20,000 people each year.

Commenting on the article, the Rev Canon Dr Chris Sugden said: "If nothing is done to bring into the marketplace of Greenbelt a biblically faithful point of view, publicly, that is available for people, then I think leaders of youth clubs and families should think very seriously about whether they want their young people to be in this environment; an environment where it is accepted that this [practising homosexuality] is a valid, completely acceptable expression of the Christian point of view."
He said that the gay agenda was already pushed enough at schools and in the media and that there was no need for a Christian festival to be promoting it. He added that Gene Robinson was "clearly seeking to influence a lot of people."

Greenbelt, which has the Archbishop of Canterbury as its patron, has been provocative on numerous occasions since it began in1974. In previous years it featured the bikini-clad dancers of the Sheffield Nine O'Clock Service (before it ended scandalously in 1995). Another year a white witch was invited to speak at the festival. Greenbelt is refusing to comment on the criticisms.

Gay Bishops? Witches? Just the sort of event you might expect to see promoted by CAFOD and the Diocese of Middlesbrough.
