Protest planned over book which sees Jesus 'cure' gays

A forthcoming book printed by a Christian publishers has triggered plans for a peaceful protest – because its characters are cured of their homosexuality by Jesus.

Marion Heath's Where Is Your Brother? is due to be released on 19 March, but – weeks prior to the on-sale date – over one hundred people have vowed to attend a rally in defiance of the book.

Taking place in Worcester on 19 March, it will centre around the city's St.Paul's Church – the same venue where the book is being launched.

The story tells the tale of Ryan, who leaves his family to embark on an affair with another man, before Jesus makes him realise his ability to reject his homosexuality.

The book's publisher, Crossbridge, deals specifically with Christian subject matter and owner Eileen Moor, 79, claims she's prepared fort a backlash from equality activists.

"We are expecting it to be controversial because of its claim that Jesus can cure homosexuals – and we are ready for that controversy," she told the Worcester News.
