The Bishop of Liverpool has said he will attend an international summit of Anglican leaders without his wife next year, in protest at a bar on the partners of gay clergy.
Rt Rev Paul Bayes described the decision to prevent same-sex partners of clergy from attending the 2020 Lambeth Conference as an "act of exclusion".
In a message posted on Twitter, he said: "I deeply regret that, in the fractious complexities of our life as a worldwide people, this act of exclusion has taken its place.
"It is a grief to me and to my wife, and to many others. Despite this, I aim to attend the Conference, alone, in the hope of a common future."
The Anglican Communion - which includes national churches from 165 countries - was forced to clarify its stance on the matter last week, following "misunderstanding".
Oh boy, that will send zero ripples through the dying Church of England.
What a maroon.
Sounds to me like the Bishop figured out a way to take a vacation from the missus.
he should go all the way,
drop his pants on the altar
and bend over.
Ichabod
Or the missus said, “You go hang out with a bunch of queers if you like, but don’t expect me to be your beard.”
My exact thought! GMTA
Curly would throw in a nyuk, nyuk.
Wife is probably happy to get rid of him for a few days.
