Mr Fraser exemplifies a common attitude among so-called liberals (actually illiberals). Faced with traditional beliefs he doesn't like, rather than debate his opponents respectfully, he caricatures his opponents and calls for their censorship and expulsion - and this from the leader of 'Inclusive Church'!

ReplyDeleteI agree that Giles Fraser is often aggressive and caricaturing in debate - and I know minor corrections are tedious, but he isn't "the leader" of Inclusive Church. That's Giles Goddard. Gies Fraser is an elected committee member of Inclusive Church (see their website), but no more than that.
