From Liverpool-
The Bishop
of Liverpool has said he will attend an international summit of Anglican
leaders without his wife next year, in protest at a bar on the partners
of gay clergy.
In a message posted on Twitter, he said: "I deeply regret that, in the fractious complexities of our life as a worldwide people, this act of exclusion has taken its place.
"It is a grief to me and to my wife, and to many others. Despite this, I aim to attend the Conference, alone, in the hope of a common future."
The Anglican Communion - which includes national churches from 165 countries - was forced to clarify its stance on the matter last week, following "misunderstanding".
