The General Assembly’s moratorium does not stifle debate on gay clergy

I write to express a contrary view to parts of Iain A D Mann's letter about the General Assembly and gay clergy (Letters, April 26).

Technically, as a member of the Church of Scotland’s Mission and Discipleship Council, I was excused from that moratorium although I haven’t felt the need to exercise that privilege.

I was also a commissioner at the 2009 General Assembly and supported the moratorium.
