CHURCH OF ENGLAND BISHOP REVEALS HE IS A GAY RELATNSHIP

The bishop of Grantham has bee the first Church of England bishop to publicly clare that he is gay and a a move that will be embraced by mpaigners for equaly but is likely to alarm nservativ who fear the church is movg away om tradnal teachgs, Nicholas Chamberla said there had been no secret about his long-term - albe celibate - relatnship wh his a threat by a Sunday newspaper to reveal Chamberla’s sexualy had phed him to speak publicly. "People know I'm gay, but 's not the first thg I'd say to anyone.

Chamberla said he adhered to church guil, unr which gay clergy mt be celibate and are not permted to marry. For me, and for those who assisted his appotment, the fact that Bishop Nicholas is gay is not, and has never been, a termg factor.

Strsg that he did not want to bee known as “the gay bishop”, he said he hoped that the impact of his openns would be “that we n say the bishop of Grantham is gay and is gettg on wh his life and mistry”. I hope I’ll be able to be a standard-bearer for all people as a gay man.
