That their parish priest with a motto 'vicars and tarts' standing charity ball appeared as a prostitute did not want to see the community members this. He had brought his church into disrepute, "said one. After the hostilities did not cease, the pastor comes back, and suspected homophobia.
Last August, was in a pub in South Shields a masked ball given to the 'vicars and tarts' instead. Also present parish priest of the local church of St. Laurence the martyr, the 59-year-old Martin Wray. After all, the net proceeds of the event between the Church and a British charity organization that sells art made by disabled people was divided. After the priest is not unusual in ecclesiastical garb, therefore, decided to Wray for a disguise as a prostitute and appeared in a wig, gold leggings and high heels. It seemed this time probably even not as far-fetched.
Since the donation was not published results for the ball with an image of the priest as a prostitute in the church newspaper, there was great excitement among community members. What followed were months of discussions about how much the priest brought the church into disrepute by his disguise and that he did this as a parish priest is not untenable. Even their share of the proceeds of the fundraising event - after all, several hundred pounds - rejected the church as it would be 'ruined'. After the hostilities did not cease, the pastor came back now from his office and goes into retirement. Like the diocese announced officially, the resignation due to the long illness of the pastor had taken place. British media suggest, however, that the permanent hostility that led to the resignation and see beyond the discussion a very different background than his disguise: after all, he was received in May last year with his partner, a civil partnership, which had already caused a stir back then. About the whole matter would therefore be 'a whiff of homophobia. "
