HOMOSEXUALITY

'I have known those who were faced with extreme temptation to 'unnatural sin' who so resolutely refused to succumb to what fatally attracted them but which they knew was wrong, that I was astonished. But on reflection, I knew why their aesthetic, pastoral, and preaching gifts were signally used of God. That very drive, which could have ruined them was used, when transmogrified into an instrument of God, as the means of saving and blessing many.'
William Still, 'A Pastoral Perspective on Our Fallen Sexuality' in David Searle (Ed.), Truth and Love, p.63.
