A same-sex married couple in Australia claims they were discriminated against and had to leave their leadership roles and a paid job at a small church in northern New South Wales.
Organist and church musical director Peter Sanders, 57, and his husband Peter Grace, 61, who held an unpaid leadership role at St Mary’s Anglican Church, were told they would need to separate, be celibate and receive religious counselling if they were to continue in their positions in the West Armidale church.
