Australian national Matthew Leveson hasn’t been seen since September 23rd, but his family isn’t giving up hope that he’ll return safe and sound.
Leveson’s mother continues to implore the public to send in tips on what could have happened to her 20-year old son: “I want my son back. He’s a beautiful boy, he wouldn’t harm a fly, he’s got lovely friends. I just want to know something.”
Leveson’s family’s been in anguish since he went missing in September. His brother was the last member to see him, when they ran into each other at a ARQ nightclub, a popular club in Sydney. Leveson’s boyfriend saw him later that night, but hasn’t heard a peep since.
Police found Leveson’s empty car four days later. Though they have no clues one way or another, authorities fear Leveson may have met a homophobic end. Said one detective, “We certainly hold grave concerns for Matthew. We believe his disappearance is a result of foul play.”
Let’s hope that’s not the case.

Yes, the Levensons are Anglicans and I am aware of this case. Sad indeed ! Australian gays and lesbians live under the thumb of a Bush clone, PM Howard with an Opposition leader who is no better.
We pray for Matthew’s safety, and pray that the outcome is not what everyone fears in Sydney. As you know, the prevalent faith system is Roman Catholicism, and the virulence of the primate is absolute spiritual violence. Anglican response has been overt compassion for all concerned, but still sits on the fence placed there by Akinola of Nigeria and his ilk. Our sin is that of omission and theirs is the sin of commission. Neither has moral superiority. Both are damnable.

Rt. Rev. Dr. RES,
You spewed all that vitriol, and it turns out his murderer was his middle-aged gay lover.
