Congregation quits Kirk in protest over gay ordination

An entire congregation has quit the Church of Scotland in the Bahamas after its minister resigned over the issue of the first gay ordination.

Around 800 members of the Kirk will hear at its annual General Assembly in Edinburgh this week that after the Reverend John MacLeod resigned from St Andrew’s in Nassau, the capital of the islands, his congregation has opted to leave the Church.
