To remove Rev. Melvin Tinker from his post.

The Issue

He is an employee of the Church of England. It is not his role or responsibility to judge people. To liken homosexuals to paedophiles is absolutely vile, disgusting and completely unacceptable. As a vicar he comes in to contact with young people, who by their very nature are vulnerable, and he is saying this from a position of authority and, by default, in God's name. For him to remain in post would be extremely inappropriate.
