Church to draw veil over sex lives of gay clergy
by Nicholas Hellen, Times:
Church of England bishops are proposing to turn a blind eye to gay clergy who breach its rules by having sex, in an attempt to avert a rift over how it treats gay people.
The church would replace the existing system where lesbian and gay clergy are asked to promise to be celibate when they apply to be ordained, change jobs or seek a promotion including becoming a bishop.
Under the proposal, to be considered tomorrow by the House of Bishops, gay clergy would still be expected to be celibate but would no longer be questioned about their private lives.
