What are you scared of? Don't talk to me about DEMOCRACY - show your face!</i><br /><br />Knowing who I am neither helps nor hinders the value of my response, does it?<br /><br />The more I hear about this the more I understand it to be a battle of morals and beliefs. Am I missing something here? are the church 'anti-homosexuality'? I think not. The gripe is probably that they are not 'pro-homosexuality'. Well respect and tolerance for morals and beliefs works both ways.<br /><br />As for signing off, being counted and democracy, what's the point? I'm <i>for</i> making St. Mary in the Castle work and whatever that takes to do so. If my 'vote' needs to be counted for a decision to be made then I'll vote. All putting my name here does is put me up against the insular, art 'war machine' since my views aren't what they wish to hear.<br /><br />If the art community put some 'real' effort into effective marketing and not spend all their time on internal nattering in cafes, pubs, local mailing lists and demonstrations, things may not have gone this far in the first place. It winds me up that there is real talent in Hastings across all aspects of art, new media etc., and all people do is waste time negating the system. Why can't the coalition come up with 'solutions' that can be presented to the decision making boards?<br /><br />What a refreshing change that would make.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18962348.post-5193351679196589942007-01-07T13:45:00.000+00:002007-01-07T13:45:00.000+00:00Sorry - I should have said "local newspaper" rathe...Sorry - I should have said "local newspaper" rather than "Sonrise website", for what it's worth.~Aliens@C~https://www.blogger.com/profile/04002933593370511348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18962348.post-36016971749393834312007-01-07T13:36:00.000+00:002007-01-07T13:36:00.000+00:00I can only say that these are not my words - they ...I can only say that these are not my words - they are taken directly from the Sonrise website. My objections go much much further than issues like "gay marriage" - they are far more political. <br />In many ways your comment (unwittingly) sums up part of the situation - I allow ANYONE to write comments about my posts - that doesn't mean I "approve" them all for publication, although so far I've NEVER rejected a single one! Also my name & email address are there for all to see. You on the other hand hide behind anonymity - I take that to mean you don't have the moral courage to "stand up & be counted".

We have made good use of this space to brighten up the seafront and raise the cultural profile of the town."</i><br /><br />Define "successful". If that means being economically viable for the building SoCo are in then it's most certainly not successful. So what alternatives are there? Make more noise and see if the Council will subsidise SoCo so they can work in a place they can't afford?<br /><br />Here's a thought, lease to someone who can pay the bills. For every grant, every subsidy and every person who doesn't exceed their economic footprint, others have to fund with the taxes they pay. What about taxpayers rights to not have leeches occupy potentially lucrative buildings?<br /><br />As for discrimination against homosexuality, their website clearly states "<i>Sonrise Church is committed to building a culture within the Church where all persons value and respect each other and are treated equally, no matter their sex, marital status, race, colour nationality, ethnic origin, disability, age or sexual orientation.</i>"<br /><br />Do they need to mention the word "homosexuality" before people are happy they won't exclude them? Is the above message not clear enough?<br /><br />I don't see that SoCo have any argument with the Council other than the opinions of the 'arts community' suiting themselves, well guess what, I'm not an artist and I want St. Mary in the Castle to be an economic and sustainable success and if SoCo can't do it, let someone else make it work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
