The equality that we are all entitled to as citizens of this democracy can't be avoided by some religious dogma of a President who's is supposed to believe in the notion of separation of church and state. And he frankly doesn't.
I believe there is complete equality between men and women. And I believe those passages in the New Testament not by Jesus but by Paul that say women should not adorn themselves they should always wear hats or color their hair in church - things like that - I think they are signs of the times and should not apply to modern-day life.
In regard to education something has been done by the Provincial Legislature but to build churches and to place clergymen is a work of greater difficulty.
But I like going to church. If you've been brought up in the Church of England it feels like visiting an elderly relative. And I think it's important that part of the kids' education is knowing about the Bible.
The Church is not a gallery for the exhibition of eminent Christians but a school for the education of imperfect ones.
I learned more stuff in church than I did in the world.
And I think my sexuality was heavily repressed by the church by the you know the design of the mortal sins.
I am politically pro-choice but personally pro-life. I have my faith but refuse to force it on the world at large - especially this world so brutal and unjust. I cannot make these wrenching personal life and death decisions for others - nor do I believe they should be made by a church run by childless men.
My faith isn't very churchy it's a pretty personal intimate thing and has been a huge source of strength in moments of life and death.
But I have been in some very beautiful churches then I've looked outside and seen people starving to death.
