Last call to support sacked church pastor
A final call has been put out to help support the sacked Baptist pastor, Rev Matt Glover.
Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) national spokeswoman Shelley Argent said she will close the account she set up to support Rev Glover and his family in the next two weeks.
“If you would still like to donate but haven’t had the opportunity, now is the time to do so,” Argent said.
Argent said one cheque had already been sent to Rev Glover before Christmas and a final amount would be handed over when the account is closed.
Last month the Star Observer reported Rev Glover, a married man with two children, had been forced to step down from his role at from Melbourne’s Lilydale Baptist Church for speaking out in favour of marriage equality.
Glover has worked with the gay community for 15 years on issues of faith and is said to be deeply upset over the experience.
A benefit for Rev Glover will be held at DT’s Hotel in Richmond, Melbourne on February 7 from 6.30pm.
