It has been reported by sources close to the selection process the next Anglican Bishop of Bangor in Wales just may be a gay man.
Dr. Jeffrey John is being considered for the post and this the more conservative Anglicans outraged.
Previously, Dr. John was forced to step down as Bishop of Reading in 2003 after a group of more conservative Anglicans posed objection that he was in a gay relationship with the Reverend Grant Holmes. He is currently serving as the Dean of St. Albans.
The guidelines, Under House of Bishops, states clerics are allowed to enter into civil partnerships as long as they are not engaging in sexual activities.
