Conservative Anglican vicar criticises church leaders for appointing gay bishop
Bishop Nicholas Chamberlain's revelation raises tensions between traditionalists and liberals in the Church of England. The conservative Anglican group Gafcon has said that appointing a gay man as the Bishop of Grantham was a "major error." Reverend Canon Dr Gavin Ashenden, a Chaplain to Her Majesty the Queen and a vicar in Jersey, says that the leader of the Church of England took a risk by making Nicholas Chamberlain a bishop and placed 'difficult stresses on a church which is hanging together by the skin of its teeth.'
