From the London Times"A senior clergyman in Wales is threatening to resign if the openly gay Dean of St Albans, Dr Jeffrey John, is appointed Bishop of Bangor. Canon Peter Jones, the treasurer of Bangor Cathedral and a vicar in the diocese, said that homosexual acts were “sinful and wrong” and the appointment of Dr John would force him to consider his position. Dr John celebrated a civil partnership with the Rev Grant Holmes two years ago but their relationship has not been physical for many years. As such he meets the requirements under Anglican teaching that homosexuals should be celibate."
