Cathedral 'should help conservative worshippers avoid women priest-led services'

From Premier-

Wakefield Cathedral was "asking too much" of a congregation member who cannot accept women clergy, a new report has found.

The independent review followed a complaint from one worshipper after the West Yorkshire landmark stopped publishing in advance the names of those who would be presiding over Holy Communion.

Dennis Belk claimed he was being "marginalised" because he was forced to arrive at services without prior knowledge whether there would be a male or female celebrant.

Mr Belk, who described himself as a "traditional Catholic" felt the situation put him in a "compromising position" and argued he had to leave services on three occasions because a woman priest was presiding.

Conducted by Sir William Fittall, the review found cathedral bosses were unreasonable in their expectations of Mr Belk.
