AS a believer, I have for some time been disillusioned with the established Church.

Two years ago, I decided I'd had enough. If ever my decision to "come out and be separate (2 Cor 6, 17) needed to be confirmed, then the church at Harwood and the Anglican hierarchy have certainly done it.

Their treatment of Mr & Mrs Cheetham and the memory of their daughter is nothing short of disgraceful.

How on earth can they pretend to preach a gospel of love and compassion -- and treat people in this way? I sincerely hope that they will "prayerfully" consider their actions, the hurt they have caused, apologise , and reverse their decision.
