Bishop Tutu's daughter marries another woman, leaves ministry
http://city-press.news24.com/News/tu...riage-20160521
Reverend Canon Mpho Tutu-Van Furth has revealed that her licence to preach is being revoked because she married a woman – so, she's decided to quit instead.
Newlyweds Mpho and Marceline Tutu-Van Furth are on honeymoon on the Indian Ocean island of Bali after their wedding at a Franschhoek wine estate attended by Mpho's parents, Leah and Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu.
"Bali is quite magical," said Mpho in an email to City Press, adding that she had decided to "give up" her ministerial duties – her authority to preside at Holy Communion, and to officiate at weddings, baptisms and funerals in South Africa.
"Because the South African Anglican Church does not recognise our marriage, I can no longer exercise my priestly ministry in South Africa," she said. "The bishop of the Diocese of Saldanha Bay [Bishop Raphael Hess] was instructed to revoke my licence.

I think it was Desmond Tutu who said earlier that he would rather be in hell than in a heaven without gays.

The devil is busier than ever. Seems he takes special delight is destroying ministers families.
