United Church minister says she quit her job with the church in Gambo over a controversy around Pride events

CBC Newfoundland Morning

(Please note slightly distorted audio on intro and extro*) Rev. Dianne Crewe used to lead congregations at Emmanuel United Church in Gambo and Knox United Church in Hare Bay. But earlier this month, at the start of a sermon, Crewe announced upcoming events, including Pride celebrations at the church. Some members of the congregation interrupted the service to voice their opposition to those events. Ultimately, Crewe says church officials had a meeting -- which she was not allowed to attend -- that ended in her being forced to leave the church. The CBC's Martin Jones began his conversation with Rev. Dianne Crewe by asking her if she was surprised by the interruption during that Sunday service.
