Fr Coles: Deception about our relationship was the lesser of two evils
From the Revd Richard Coles 1-3-24 to Church Times
Sir, — May I offer couple of clarifications after Andrew Brown’s comments (Press, 23 February) on my recent interview in The Times?
I don’t think it is ever OK to lie, but it may be a lesser evil. I did not want to deceive anyone about my relationship with my late partner, which was happily and guiltlessly sexual, but I felt that I had no choice. I did not do it to “get on in the instution”, but to survive in it. If we had been honest, we would have risked our vocations, our livelihoods, and our homes. If we were Anglicans in some other Provinces, it would not have been a problem; but in others, let us not forget, it could have resulted in arrest, criminal prosecution, violence, and possibly death.
The greater evil, in my view, would have been to deny ourselves the intimate relationship that others in the random distribution of sexual orientation take for granted, and to decline the offer of godly love and grace which came with it.
RICHARD COLES
