The Anglican communion’s newly minted Archbishop of Wales, the Rev. Cherry Vann, is lamenting that people are leaving the church on account of her lesbianism, describing their actions as “very hurtful.”
Vann is the first woman to be elected as an Anglican archbishop in the United Kingdom and the first openly gay bishop serving as primate in the Anglican Communion. Notably, Vann is not ‘married’ to her lesbian girlfriend, Wendy Diamond, but has been living in a “same-sex civil partnership” for years. She told BBC News:
“There are still patches all over the place where people continue to struggle with women in leadership and I have to respect that. The Church in Wales is working hard to welcome LGBT+ people, but also I respect that there are people in the Church in Wales who find that really difficult.
Some, sadly, have felt the need to leave and I take that very seriously.”
Vann further revealed that many people have been “quite hostile” regarding her election.
“It can be very hurtful. It’s hard to hear some of the things that people say, but I think it’s important that there is the space for them to say that.
“I don’t want people to feel shut down or silenced just because I hold a different view, but it does nevertheless hurt because it feels like an attack on who I am and who God has made me to be.
We have to find a way as a Church to respect one another’s views and find a commonality in our faith in Christ, despite our differences”.
Notably, her election was the breaking point for millions of considervative Anglicans, after the The Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, announced that it was officially severing all ties with the Church in Wales on account of her election.
The Primate of the Church of Nigeria, Rev. Henry Ndukuba, described her appointment as an “abomination before God” and insisted “We do not recognize the so-called Archbishop of Wales and cannot share communion with a church that has departed from the teachings of the Bible.”

Notice, she’s not saying it’s hurtful to the faithful of the parish, she’s saying it’s hurtful to HER.
Will no one rid me of this turbulent priestess?
I had the same problem. Small group therapy. I was elected leader, and just because my pants were completely full, due to sudden dysentary, everyone abandoned me. Yea, it was leaking out of my pant legs, but after a while, I dodn’t really even smell it anymore.
Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! Proverbs 29:2
“but enough about me...let’s move on and talk about me”.
Well, Harry Truman said if you can’t take the heat, you need to stay out of the kitchen. If she didn’t want flack, she should give up being a bishop, or say goodbye to her mate.
and she cares about is her sexuality
Cherry Vann and Wendy Diamond sound like stage names for strippers!
I guess she’s upset some people read the Bible at her church...
The leadership of the Anglican Church has abandoned its faithful. This “Archbishop” may end up being its last member as the flock goes on to a real Christian faith.
You think that’s hurtful miss Cherry Vann? Just wait till you hear what Jesus says
“I don’t want people to feel shut down or silenced just because I hold a different view, but it does nevertheless hurt because it feels like an attack on who I am and who God has made me to be.
We have to find a way as a Church to respect one another’s views and find a commonality in our faith in Christ, despite our differences”.

1.) What she is, is not what God made her to be. Repent.
2.) Christ is quite clear about sexual deviance.
3.) she has no business being in a position of leadership.
Not only was George a Lesbian, he became a hard-core vegan later in life.
They have a certain look.
Perhaps the good lady can go into another line of work, being an archbishop clearly doesn’t suit her.
The Episcopal branch in the US is the same. Homosexual clergy and leftist supporters have been relentless in every election.
Can't they just arrest the congregation members who left and force them to attend?
