The only two C of E clergy I know here in Brighton are both openly gay. Actually one passed away recently. A dear friend and all round good chap.Most church of england christian types are constantly reinterpreting the bible to fit the latest scientific theory. I say if you are going to be christian then have the gumption to stop moving the goalposts and stick with the literal text, God made the earth and all the creatures, only then did he bother making the sun, world is 6,000 years old, the dead can be resurrected, fish can be multiplied, water can be walked upon, virgins can give birth, da da dum
The C of E is very split. The urban churches, especially here, have little issue with homosexuality, but a preaching queen would best not take a rural gig.
In many ways it's a cultural reflection of the world over.
