This pastor gives thumbs-up to LGBT policy

Dear Editor: The headline "New West Pastors Speak against LGBT Inclusion Policy" (the Record online, Jan. 28) implies that all New Westminster clergy are opposed to the LGBT inclusion policy.

Dear Editor:

The headline "New West Pastors Speak against LGBT Inclusion Policy" (the Record online, Jan. 28) implies that all New Westminster clergy are opposed to the LGBT inclusion policy.

 As the pastor of Shiloh-Sixth Avenue United Church, a church that is proud to welcome all people regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, that has supported the Royal City Pride Festival for many years, and that believes that all of God's children are entitled to be accepted and respected as they are, I would like to express my support for this policy and my satisfaction that it has been passed by the school board.

Rev. Shannon Tennant, Shiloh-Sixth-Avenue United Church, New Westminster
