LONDON — Bishop Cherry Vann has been elected as archbishop of the Church in Wales, becoming the first woman and LGBTQ cleric appointed to lead any of Britain’s Anglican churches.

While the broader, international Anglican Communion has had openly gay bishops before, most notably Gene Robinson in the United States, Vann will be the first lesbian to serve as archbishop globally.

The Church in Wales, which broke away from the Church of England in 1920, elected Vann to the post on Wednesday.

According to her official biography, Vann lives with her civil partner, Wendy, and the couple’s two dogs. While the Church in Wales does not conduct same-sex marriages, it permits clergy to enter into civil partnerships.

Vann will replace Andrew John, who resigned in June following the publication of two internal church reports in May which raised concerns about governance and safeguarding. There was no suggestion of any wrongdoing by John.

Zero logic.

They can have their fun now. Things will change once the Muslims take over.

Side note to Bishop Vann: If you’re still around when that happens, decline all invitations to a meeting on a roof top.

Welsh Bishop Lesby Ann and "her civil partner, Wendy, and the couple's two dogs" haven't noticed, but....

Now, isn't that queer?

One may speculate on what part the dogs play in the women's various activities. I would bet they aren't hunting dogs.

Cherry Vann huh? The Brits are spending way too much time worrying about America electing President Trump while their own country is rotting on the vine.

What, you don’t think we have sodomite clergy here in America living in partnerships or marriages?

We ARE in the Days of Lot, just as prophesied by Jesus Christ Himself.
