    Christ spent his adult life with 12 men. He preached love for those marginalised in society. A censored story in the Gospel of Mark told of Jesus sharing the night with a young man. Had that erased chapter been retained in go ...

    The Presby Church is a Bible believing church. We believe in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.Everyone who believes in the Bible obeys what is written in it. True Bible believers will not support same sex marriages.
