Closed petition Make it illegal for the C of E to discriminate against gay non-celibate clergy
Closed on
The Anglican Church insists that gay clergy with partners live a celibate life if they wish to continue working as priests or bishops. This is an unfair burden on gay clergy as well as being discriminatory within the 21st century workplace.
