A Senior cleric in a northern diocese of England has taken Government minister Harriet Harman to task for her attack on the “traditional family”.
The broadside at the Minister for Women and Equality, who voiced the attack last year, is delivered by the Rector of St John the Baptist church, Chester, the Rev David Chesters.
In the January issue of Phoenix, his parish magazine, the married 64-year-old rector says: “As I write this…Harriet Harman is having a go at the ‘traditional family.’ ”
But it is “this type of family that has moulded a people and a faith over hundreds of years,” protests Fr Chesters who, ordained in 2004, has been at St John’s – Chester’s original cathedral – since 2006.
I understand that in England the feminist, anti-Christian leftwing Minister for Women and Equality is variously known as Harriet Hate-men, Harriet Harm-men and Harridan Hormone.
I agree with Father Chesters on spitting. A revolting and unhygienic habit that I see on the streets of Pittsburgh every day (and one that’s rather harder to remonstrate about that dropping an expired cigarette on the ground, not that I count myself a particularly good remonstrater).
