Gay Bishop

A British bishop has become the first in the Church of England -- the mother church of the worldwide Anglican faith -- to announce he is homosexual, in an interview published Saturday.

The Vatican reacted furiously on Saturday after a Polish priest employed as a senior official publicly declared his homosexuality on the eve of a bishops' synod set to touch on the divisive issue of the Catholic Church's relationship to gay believers.

A Belgian Bishop has distanced himself from an award given by a gay rights group after he called on the Catholic Church to "respect" divorced people and homosexuals.

Catholic bishops are predicting widespread approval of a revised, "balanced" document laying out the church's position on gays, sex, marriage and divorce.

The first openly gay bishop in the Episcopal Church, whose election to lead the diocese of New Hampshire kicked off a firestorm of controversy a decade ago, said on Sunday he was divorcing his husband after four years of marriage.

Bishops in the Church of England issued new guidance today warning clergy they should not bless couples in same-sex marriages, after the idea was recommended in an internal report last year.

The impending gay marriage legislation could force Queen Elizabeth II to break a sovereign promise, former senior UK bishop has warned. Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali, who was Bishop of Rochester for 15 years, said the Queen took an oath to "uphold God's laws" when she was crowned.

A senior Church of England bishop has angered gay-rights campaigners by saying homosexuals should repent.
