From The BBC-Appointing a gay man as the bishop of Grantham was a "major error", the conservative Anglican group Gafcon has said.
Bishop Nicholas Chamberlain said he was gay and in a relationship on Friday.
He was consecrated last year by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby - who has said he knew about the bishop's sexuality.
Bishop Chamberlain told BBC News: "We are all God's people together... I hope that you will be able to understand."
He also said he understood and lived by the Church guidelines, which say gay clergy must remain celibate.
