‘I’d use different words’: Controversial pastor speaks with Neil Mitchell

The senior pastor responsible for the controversial sermon that ultimately led to Andrew Thorburn’s chaotic resignation as Essendon CEO says he would “use different words” today.

Guy Mason said same-sex relationships were sinful and compared abortion to the Holocaust.

“Out of context, it’s sloppy and the analogy is unhelpful – I’d use different words,” he told Neil Mitchell.

“I mean, this is a message from 10 years ago, so it’s very likely I’d use very different words today.”

Mason said the City on a Hill church was not homophobic.

“We’re a very inclusive and diverse church,” he said.
