Pro-gay bishop snubbed in Kenya

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/essex/5011406.stm

The Rt Rev John Gladwin, Bishop of Chelmsford, was told he was no longer welcome after his views on gays were discovered by the local archbishop.

The group has been told hospitality has been "withdrawn".

The visit was to strengthen links first set up more than 20 years ago between four dioceses in Kenya and Chelmsford.

Bishop Gladwin was named this month as one of four new patrons of Changing Attitude, the campaigning group that aims at equality of opportunity for lesbian, gay and bisexual people in the Anglican Church.
