Bishop of Grantham becomes first Church of England bishop to come out publicly as gay

THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND NOW HOMOSEXUAL - HERETIC CHURCH! The Bishop of Grantham, Nicholas Chamberlain, has become the first ever bishop in the Church of England to state publicly that he is in a gay relationship. Bishops are permitted to be in same-sex relationships provided that they are celibate and they do not marry, and Chamberlain’s sexuality had not been kept a secret from the Church. My sexual identity is part of who I am, but it’s the ministry that matters. “It was not my decision to make a big thing about coming out,” he said. “People know I’m gay, but it’s not the first thing I’d say to anyone.” He said he expected the news to create “ripples” in the church.

The presiding bishop of the U.S. Episcopal Church says that his denomination will not repent of accepting same-sex "marriage." Presiding Bishop Michael Curry , the first African- American to lead U.S. Episcopalians, told leading Anglican archbishops meeting in England that despite recent sanctions imposed by Anglican leadership, the U.S. branch will not reverse its decision to approve of homosexuality. "They heard from me directly that that's not something that we're considering," Curry said. "We made our decision, and this is who we are." The leaders of the worldwide Anglican Communion   suspended   the U.S. Episcopal Church for three years over the issue. The primates of 38 Anglican churches throughout the world voted to bar the U.S. Episcopal Church from representing the denomination on ecumenical and interfaith organizations and from taking part in Anglican decision-making on any issues pertaining to doctrine or polity.
