The Church of England – Britain’s official state church – has been accused of “serious institutional homophobia” and of having “inertia and ignorance” of same sex couples by one of the UK’s most senior Anglican bishops.

In comments that could infuriate traditionalists. Bishop Wilson told the Pink News website that too many churches have “serious institutional homophobia”.

He said: “Christians believe God is love and those who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. But, you may say, churches have a funny way of showing that sometimes.

“We still have a legacy of serious institutional homophobia, inertia and ignorance to overcome. Fact is, however, where people dare to think things could be different, think things through without prejudice, there is hope.”

"Archbishop Welby has come under criticism by gay members of the clergy for failing to listen to their concerns, and for refusing to talk about his previous opposition to ordained gay marriage."

LMAO - Classic 'smokescreen' deflection -- the poor mite is as camp as a tent, and has been in the closet so long, that someone's hanging Liberace's old clothes on him.
