I would also like to see a commitment, on the part of the `church’ to dialogue around social and political issues. As the church loses it’s privileged status in the West, finding new [old] ways of engaging the culture becomes necessary from a position of `powerlessness.’

Refer to Spiked online for some insightful commentary on this issue.

The statistic that actually MATTERS is that more than 50% of voters gave their first, second or third preference to a candidate who does NOT support the re-definition of marriage.

Hiscutt got 45.9% of the primary vote, 55.6% two candidate.

She won every single booth bar one micro booth were it was 40 VOTES to 41 VOTES. See won Acton (at a primary level) with 42.4% of that vote.

Fuller is Deputy Mayor of Ulverstone and pro gay marriage. How is that anything other than a flogging of the pro gay marriage candidate?
