St. Paul’s Canon Resigns Over Plans To Evict Occupy London, Will Not ‘Accept Violence In The Name Of The Church’

In a statement to the Guardian, Fraser, who was appointed canon in May 2009, confirmed his resignation, saying: “I resigned because I believe that the chapter has set on a course of action that could mean there will be violence in the name of the church.” […] A spokeswoman, Naomi Colvin, added: “Courage like that is really very inspiring. It reassures us that what we’re doing is important. The people who have a bit of integrity, it’s becoming more obvious who those people are. I hope we can do well enough to justify their sacrifices.”
