Catholic Church Fires Lesbian Music Director Married To A Woman

ErlindaLonon885:

A Catholic church in Detroit has fired its music director after someone learned that she was married to a woman, and urged the executives to invoke the church's 'morality clause'. Terry Gonda, 59, found out on Wednesday that she was being fired from her job of 30 years for her relationship. Last week the Supreme Court ruled that the landmark 1964 Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination due to gender, also applies to sexual orientation. However, religious organizations are considered exempt and have historically been granted immunity from lawsuits due to separation of church and state. Terry Gonda, pictured with her wife Kirsti Reeve, was fired on Wednesday by the church Gonda married Kirsti Reeve, 51, whom she met in 1994 during a trip to England, in 2011. Reeve moved to the U.S. and converted to Catholicism for Gonda. 'It's a shot to the head from headquarters,' Gonda told the [ ]. 'The dehumanization of this is just not right.'

'I received a call from the Human Resource director for the Archdiocese in response to a communication the diocese received regarding your [https://twitter.com/search?q=marital&src=typd marital] status,' wrote Monsignor Michael LeFevre, the pastor of the church, in a June 12 email. 'When asked, I confirmed that you and Kirsti had informed me of your marital status some five years ago; now the Archdiocese is choosing to activate its morality clause to terminate your employment.' She was summoned to a meeting on Wednesday and officially terminated. Gonda tears up her severance letter in front of supporters in Detroit on Wednesday The couple, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html tour bali] who married in 2011, are pictured praying before the Wednesday meeting to fire her LeFevre has not commented on the firing. The Detroit Archdiocese said: 'As a long-standing practice, out of respect for the privacy of those involved, the Detroit archdiocese does not comment on personnel matters.' Detroit Archbishop Allen Vigneron has advocated for conversion therapy for homosexuals, urging Catholics in 2017 to pray for 'those with same-sex attraction who do not see the truth and goodness of Christ's call to them, that they might undergo repentance and conversion to receive healing and peace.' His teachings run contrary to those of Pope Francis, who in 2013 said: 'If a person is gay and seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge?' In 2018 the Pope told a gay man: 'God made you this way'. The Roman Catholic Church does not recognize same-sex marriage, however. [https://twitter.com/search?q=Detroit%20Archbishop&src=typd Detroit Archbishop] Allen Vigneron has advocated for conversion therapy for homosexuals Gonda said she was left in turmoil by the decision, but refused to condemn her former colleagues. 'My heart just hurts because I have an outpouring of love for them,' she told the paper. 'I love them. I believe that they believe they're doing the right thing - they're trying to protect the church.' She said she was always made to feel welcome by the church, and the former pastor, who retired five years ago, described her as a 'model person' with a deep love of God, who enhanced his parish. 'Everything that I saw of Terry was of God,' said Rev. Jerry Brzezinski, who worked there for 32 years. 'It didn't really make any difference one way or another over who you were or what you were about in terms of your lifestyle. 'She was a good person. Her life was of God.' Gonda and Reeves married in 2011 in Washington DC, having met in 1994 in England Gonda said she was speaking out to try and reassure her supporters at the progressive church. She intends to be front row, with her wife, at Mass on Sunday. 'I need to say something,' she said. 'People are terrified, thinking, "If they can fire Terry, I'm next." 'My soul is filled with grief. But in my soul, something is happening. 'There are signs. God is in this. God is preparing us for what's in store. There must be a better way.' Sheran Tioran, 77, who has been a parishioner at St John Fisher for more than 40 years, joined Gonda outside her parish with a group of supporters on Wednesday. 'I'm saddened and I'm angry,' she told the paper. 'For us here at the chapel, this is not the Jesus that I know.' Tioran has known Gonda for 32 years and called her firing 'unjust and un-Christian.' 'These are man-made rules,' Tioran said of the so called morality clause and ministerial exception used to fire Gonda. 'Jesus would not be turning Terry and Kirsti away. He'd be welcoming them with open arms. It's just ridiculous.' Lisa Brown, who ran the parish's campus and young adult ministry for 17 years, said Gonda's firing was a big loss to the church. 'She literally saved lives,' Brown said. 'Her way of accepting people and just being present helped so many young people who were disowned by their own family, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html kynghidongduong.vn] or who were not accepted for who they were.' data-track-module="am-external-links^external-links"> Read more: [ ]

A documentary-maker has revealed she was trafficked out of war-torn [/news/afghanistan/index.html Afghanistan] as a child - but only found out by accident when she interviewed her mother for a new podcast.

The journalist said it was 'really hard to process' the news: 'So much of my identity, from my taste in music to what I studied at university, was basically decided by the fact that I am British. Yet I'm British by total accident. I wasn't supposed to end up here.' Nelufar Hedayat, 32, was trafficked from Kabul to London in the late eighties, eventually arriving in London in 1994, but is now a regular face on British TV screens, best known for presenting CBBC's Newsround from 2011 to 2014. She is pictured with her mother, Patuni, who has finally agreed to open up to her daughter about her family's difficult journey from war-torn Kabul to London Nelufar is pictured left in 2002 in London, on her mother's first day of work experience at a Barrister's Chambers. She is pictured right in Peshawar, Pakistan, in 1992 Nelufar is now a regular face on British TV screens, best known for presenting CBBC's Newsround from 2011 to 2014. She has also presented for Channel 4's Unreported World. While it may seem surprising the presenter knows so little about her own heritage, she explains that it's the first time she's spoken to anyone in her family about their journey to safety.

So eventually I stopped asking, but now it's time, my need to know how I got here as got the better than my fear of asking'. Nelufar added to FEMAIL: 'It was one of the hardest conversations of my life. 'It's so easy for people who haven't seen war to talk about it in their land. I had my home, I had my family, my work, my status, my pride and I lost it... Nelufar's mother Patuni 'We had managed to go our entire lives avoiding talking about the war, the traffickers bringing us here and what the three of us (my sister Mursal was with us too by now) had gone through. 'I have interviewed hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people in my life. This was the hardest interview I have ever done'. In the podcast, Nelufar's mother Patuni tells her: 'It's so easy for people who haven't seen war to talk about it in their land, I had my home, I had my family, my work, my status, my pride and I lost it. I'm nothing here, I survive for you guys.' In her podcast series, Doha Debate's Course Correction, she interviews her mother and learns of the perilous journey her family took to claim asylum in the UK, and discovers smugglers told them they were going to Germany, before landing at Heathrow. (She is pictured aged one in Pakistan) Breaking down into tears, Patuni tells her daughter: 'As you see right now as a journalist around the world — and you have been in some war zones yourself — that we were running from one door to another from one place to another. Don't — it is very hard to talk about, Nelufar. I can't do it. Patuni, who works as a teaching assistant at a local school teaching English to refugee children, worked as a civil engineer and often travelled abroad with her friends before turf wars between different religious and political groups broken out in her native Afghanistan. Nelufar, 32, was trafficked from Kabul to London as an infant, but is now thriving as a broadcaster Nelufar told FEMAIL: 'We had to get out. So we did. My mum made the perilous journey east to Pakistan for safety. They then spent five years in Pakistan, where Nelufar wasn't allowed to go to school. 'I remember little bits of that time - like images of myself in our home, wearing a polka-dot white dress. But after years of discrimination and difficulty, my mum knew we couldn't build a life for ourselves. 'I wasn't even allowed to go to school. She says that once again, we sold everything, and paid some smugglers to get us to Germany. This time, we only got as far as Saudi Arabia, where we were stopped by the police'. Despite trauma in her early years, Nel is now a successful broadcaster having began her career in children's television, presenting for CBBC's Newsround. She is pictured working for Doha Debates Nelufar (left), is pictured aged three in Peshawar, Pakistan with two friends Police told Nelufar's family they needed to leave the country within three days or face the death penalty, and they were forced to travel back to Kabul. But soon after they were caught up in a shoot-out in Afghanistan while trying to travel to a village in the north of the country. Patuni tells Nelufar in the podcast: 'I blocked your eyes because there were bodies without heads on the street. There was hands without a body. There were turbans without with the head but no body. It was horrible.' Nelufar added to FEMAIL: 'After the shoot-out, my mum said she knew the war was never going to end. So she made the decision to seek asylum in Europe to start our new new life. So again, she went to the smugglers. 'From a young age I got used to gun-fire, being constantly scared and seeing the pain and worry etched onto my mum's face. While Nel now feels 'proud to be British' she was originally meant to go to Germany, although she didn't discover this until she set out to make her podcast. Nelufar's family then paid a Pakistani smuggler to take them to Germany, but once aboard the plane they discovered they were going to Heathrow. The journalist added this is common for refugees, who are completely at their smuggler's mercy. Speaking about the journey, she added: 'It was tough. We were stranded in several cities and the trip was not straightforward. We ate what we could get our hands on, and by the end of the trip we had little to no money left so it was either going to work out and we were going to get on that flight or we weren't. 'Our journey took us from Kabul, Afghanistan to Peshawar, Pakistan to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and then to London. 'I remember being constantly worried and feeling like this was never going to end. But for my seven-year-old mind it was all just a game.' Now 32, and a UK citizen, Nelufar feels 'proud to be British' and speaks English, Farsi, Hindi and Dari.

We had everything my mum had risked our lives to get: a home, a job (my mum, whose degree was not validated by universities here in the UK, was a cleaner at a B&B and proud of it) and most importantly, we were safe.

'One of my now best friends spent the first break on the playground shouting very slowly at me,"I'm Vicky, who are you… can you speak English?" I think I was as scared of her as she was of me. 'As a refugee fleeing war, persecution and probable death, it was the order, quiet and agreeableness of life in the UK that struck me.

'I grew up on a steady diet of Saturday morning kids TV. SMTV, Live and Kicking, CBBC were things I binged on and frankly it's where I learned to speak English. I went to a local comprehensive and by the age of 15 I knew what I wanted to be a journalist. 'But it was when I got the job of reporter on the BBC flagship show Newsround that I felt like I had to pinch myself. There I was on set of a show that as a kid I watched with glee.

I remember growing up watching reporters and journalists who looked and sounded nothing like me.

Nelufar, aged four, is pictured right with her sister Mursal, aged one, (left) in Peshawar, Pakistan 'As a teenager, after I'd seen the Twin Towers come down and the war on terror starting in my birth-land, I felt like I was watching two different realities.
