In News from the Septic Tank of Europe:

All over the world, the Christian is under pressure from the sins of the flesh. It is easy to see how the voice of God which we all hear sometimes comes through unclearly

The sordid past of disgraced Co-op bank boss Reverend Paul Flowers was laid bare today after it emerged he has a conviction for gross indecency and quit as a councillor for having pornography on his computer.

The fallen Methodist minister is already being investigated by the police after apparently buying £300 ($450) worth of hard drugs, including crack cocaine and crystal meth.

But it has now been revealed that in the past 30 years he has been involved in a series of sex scandals.



In 1981 he was convicted of gross indecency after he was caught by police performing a sex act with a trucker in a public toilet - but he was forgiven by the church.

Rev Flowers, who is gay, admitted the offence at Fareham Magistrates' Court in Hampshire and was fined £75 with £35 legal costs, yet his church let him continue in his job because he was sorry.

He also resigned as a Labour councillor in Bradford in 2011 after 'inappropriate but not illegal adult content' was found on a computer he used, the city council said today.

A rent boy claimed today that the Methodist also used his Co-op email account to organise drug-fuelled sex sessions while he was still chairman of the bank.

After his gross indecency conviction, Flowers told magistrates he was 'shamed and embarrassed' about the incident, but maintained he was involved 'at the other man's instigation'.

Yet he was allowed to continue as a Methodist minister.

It comes days after the Mail on Sunday revealed Rev Flowers bought hard drugs just after he was grilled by MPs on the Treasury Select Committee over the bank's disastrous performance.
'It was decided he could continue as a minister. It did not preclude him from his activities in the church. He was very contrite, and he continued his work.'
There needs to be more forgiveness. Why can't this simply be brought to a close and Mr Paul Flowers be forgiven yet again?





“We must reassert that the essence of Christianity is the love of obedience to God’s Laws and that how that complete obedience is used or implemented does not concern us.”
