Boesak resigns from church positions over homosexuality

clipped from www.thetimes.co.za Anti Apartheid activist, Allan Boesak is expected to resign from all his positions in the Uniting Reformed Church, the SABC reported. Boesak announced this in Hammanskraal outside Pretoria, after the church’s General Synod discussed the question of homosexuality. The broadcaster said Boesak used the Belhar Declaration – an anti-apartheid statement adopted by the then Dutch Reformed Mission Church in 1986,to defend his view that it was wrong to discriminate against homosexuals.

This report is somewhat short on detail, but perhaps there will be more later.
