Parish Magazine Blocks Freethinkers

The Parish Magazine refuses to carry articles submitted by Mid Sussex Freethinkers. Neither will it be listed as one of Balcombe's organisations.

Balcombe has only one village magazine. This is partly funded by the Church of England and run by the local church.

Obviously, there is only room for one village magazine. Whoever runs it surely has a responsibility to do so impartially and for the benefit of the entire village. There should be no religious censorship. 15-30% of people do not believe in God, and at least 40% of young people are agnostic or atheist.

By the way, the village website www.balcombevillage.co.uk gives full coverage to all clubs and organisations, including the churches.
