Gay prayer service at Most Holy Redeemer Parish in San Francisco’s Castro district (“a Christian Community in the Roman Catholic tradition”) will be broadcast on BBC.
According to the MHR webpage,
On Sunday, October 22, at 5 pm, there was a special prayer service at MHR. Fr. Donal Godfrey, SJ, of the University of San Francisco presided and Fr. James Alison, author of Faith Beyond Resentment was the speaker.
This was a special service [see this contemporaneous blog post], recorded by the BBC for broadcast at www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/religion/ on Sunday, April 29, 2007, at 8:10 am (GMT) and running online for the week following.
The BBC’s Radio4 Religion and Ethics broadcasts are listened to by nearly 2 million people every week.
In the last post, I drew attention to some issues of authority and authoritarianism, and how it is sometimes applied. In this link, we see an apparent anomaly; these kinds of activities continue to go on around the country and little, if nothing, is done.

Those unable to tune in to the Mass in San Francisco will be welcome at the diocesan-approved Soho Masses in London. Rainbow sashes optional.

The Archdiocese Comm. Director Healy early this afternoon has denied this is an Archdiocese event. Doesn’t even call it a ‘gay Mass’ or even a ‘Mass’.
I hope those guys get their house in order.

It happened months ago. It was an event in a parish of the archdiocese. It wasn’t a mass.
