A gay man has been paid compensation from a Church of England parish after he was subjected to an “exorcism” to purge him of his homosexuality, it has been reported.
Matthew Drapper, 37, was a volunteer at St Thomas Philadelphia, a joint Anglican-Baptist congregation in Sheffield, in 2014 when he was invited to an “encounter God weekend” at the “contemporary, welcoming church”, the Times reported.
