A CHERMSIDE church has raised eyebrows in the community after its noticeboard, signed off by God, told Christians to 'get over' homosexuality.

The All Saints Anglican Church featured the board last month on busy Hamilton Rd, which read “Dear Christians, some ppl (sic) are gay, get over it. Love God”.

The noticeboard is said to have been inspired by a similar message put on an Anglican Church noticeboard in Gosford earlier this year.

A photo of the noticeboard was posted to the All Saints Anglican Church Chermside Facebook page. It has received more than 140 ‘likes’ and 350 ‘shares’, but has divided members.

Facebook user Loz Robertson, disagreed with the sentiment.

“Shouldn’t churches be standing by the word of God rather than the opinions of man?” she posted below the photo.

“Whilst we should never judge others, but rather show them the love and grace Christ shows us, it is concerning that this sign could be read as suggesting that God is ok with the act of homosexuality.”

However, many others commented in defence of the sign.

“Great job!” Mike Lindsay posted.

Narelle Friar wrote “well done!!!! Love that you are supporting Gosford!!”

Celeste Sinclair agreed, “Well done, wish there were more churches like this.”

The church’s Reverend, Julie Woolner, said on the post that it was a big decision to make.

“What a day! I have been overwhelmed with wonderful experiences of sharing because of this sign,” she wrote.

“One lady, Lou, rang and said that she is cynical about religious organisations but this has ‘gone a long way to restoring her faith in church’.

“Another person told me that their daughter is gay and how providential this message (and my pewsheet remarks) had been in her journey with her daughter.”

Comment is being sought from Reverend Woolner.
