Threats by the Presbyterian Church to remove a Dublin minister and her church council over the appointment of a gay man to the council have been sharply condemned by senior clergy and academics. The action followed a decision by Rev Katherine Meyer and the church council at Sandymount in Dublin 4 to accept Steven Smyrl, a gay man in a same-sex marriage with another church member there, onto its council. Steven spoke to Jonathan on the show this morning.
