Gene protester pinned

Max_maxwell_self_portraitx Could this be the same long-haired motorcycling protester as the heckler filmed by the BBC at the Gene Robinson service at Giles Fraser’s St Mary’s Putney? My last ’seeking Graham Maxwell’ post produced an insant response from one Father Simon, who reckons it might be. I got the name slightly wrong, it is Max Maxwell not Graham. If you follow this link to Father Simon Rundell SCP, he’s now blogged it himself as well, having been prompted by my enquiry to make the connection. He tells me that his church, St Thomas the Apostle in Gosport, Hants, is an ordinary, Anglo-Catholic parish that likes taking groups of children to Walsingham every now and again. The parish just happens to have nothing against gays. This was what first attracted Maxwell’s attention. He pops up regularly on Fr Simon’s blog, citing chunks of the King James Bible, most of which Father Simon removes. But one example still remains. I like the photo though, don’t you? Good looking guy. Have sent him an email, awaiting a response. Will of course let all of you know what he says, when and if one ever comes! Or perhaps it is foolish to court trouble by inviting this person of extreme views onto this blog. I am relying on all my regulars to go to battle on behalf of reason, sanity and inclusivity, if and when he appears here.

These are the two videos that Maxwell objected to and that first drew him to the attention of Father Simon. The comments were so obnoxious they were removed by Father Simon.

Maxwell himself sent Father Simon the black-and-white as, in endearingly Anglican style, the good priest tried at first to dialogue with the man who kept abusing his parish’s inclusive policy on its blog. Fr Simon writes: ‘The man who disrupted his sermon at St Mary’s, Putney is the same man (I believe) who keeps posting homophobic and fundamentalist comments on this blog, who rants against our Inclusivity, our Sacramentality and me personally for proclaiming a Gospel of love and equality for all of God’s people.’

How did the name Maxwell come up in the first place? Someone stood up at the Sir Ian McKellen-Gene Robinson film launch last night, gave the protester’s name and said he used to attend his church. I heard about it when I dropped in for coffee at St Mary’s this morning. The audience member apologised on behalf of the church for Maxwell’s behaviour. So whoever you were, audience member, thank you! You disappeared before anyone could catch you to ask you more.
