Gay Cleric's 'Wedding' To Partner

A gay cleric who is an avowed celibate has "married" his partner of 30 years.

The Rt Rev Jeffrey John, 53, Dean of St Albans, and the Rev Grant Holmes, 52, a hospital chaplain, entered into a civil partnership last week.

He is the most senior member of the clergy to take advantage of the laws with his congregation applauding when it was announced on Sunday.

Church of England clergy may enter into gay marriage if they assure their bishop they are to remain celibate.

Congregation Applauded

The Bishop of St Albans, the Rt Rev Christopher Herbert, said in a statement: "Jeffrey John and his partner, along with many thousands of others, have chosen to enter into civil partnerships.

"I believe that civil partnerships confer proper, basic, legal human rights and are a matter of justice reflecting a society of difference and change.

"There are some who will consider it inappropriate for a priest to enter into a civil partnership.

"However, Jeffrey John has confirmed to me that the nature of his relationship remains in accord with the declarations he made in 2004 upon his appointment as Dean of St Albans, and therefore complies with the discipline of the Church of England as set out in the Bishops' Pastoral Statement on Civil Partnerships 2005." A cathedral congregation of about 300 broke into applause when it was announced on Sunday.

Rev. Richard Kirker, general secretary of the Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement, welcomed the dean's partnership.

He said: "It is a delightful occasion for them both but I am even more pleased that the congregation reacted so warmly and arranged a reception after the main service to toast their good health."

Gay Bishop Attacks Catholic Stand on Homosexuals

The first openly gay Anglican bishop, Gene Robinson, has called for the Roman Catholic church's attitude to homosexuals to be confronted.

The Bishop of New Hampshire said the Vatican's ban on ordaining gay men was "vile", in a speech in London.

(Apparently he doesn't believe 1 Corinthians 5:11 "But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.") He received a standing ovation after his speech, in which he spoke of how he had faced prejudice in his role.

He continued: "I find it so vile that they think they are going to end the child abuse scandal by throwing out homosexuals from seminaries. "It is an act of violence that needs to be confronted."

(Luke 17:2 says, "It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.")

Panel Asks Lutheran Body to Tolerate Gays

CHICAGO Jan 13, 2005 — Saying church unity is at least as important as resolving disagreements over sexuality, a panel recommended Thursday that the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America officially maintain its positions against same-sex blessing ceremonies and ministers involved in gay relationships, but tolerate those who believe and act otherwise.

The Lutheran body, with 5 million members, is one of several mainline Protestant denominations torn over the place of gays and lesbians in the clergy and church. The panel's job was to issue recommendations on how to settle the dispute at the church's August assembly, though its conclusions were sure to be challenged by both the right and the left.

Existing Lutheran policy bars homosexual clergy involved with partners. Just in recent months, bishops expelled a congregation in San Bernardino, Calif., with an actively lesbian associate pastor and censured another in Minneapolis that installed a gay associate pastor.
