MORE EMPTY POSTURING: Canon says he would quit over gay bishop

Since it is highly unlikely a gay bishop is about to be chosen in Wales, see this for what it is: more empty posturing on the right.

A SENIOR clergyman has threatened to quit rather than work alongside the man who could become the UK's first openly gay bishop because he says homosexual acts are "sinful and wrong".

Canon Peter Jones said he would consider his position should the Dean of St Albans, Dr Jeffrey John, become the new Bishop of Bangor.

Mr Jones, who is Vicar of Conwy in the diocese of Bangor, hinted the appointment of Dr John would lead many others to walk away from the Church in Wales.
