[Mail Online] 23 Sep 2008--A gay vicar who blessed a marriage between two lesbians in his church has been told not to do it again after complaints from angry parishioners.

Reverend Jim Cotter, 66, conducted a service of a lesbian civil partnership in his village church despite this being a breach of church policy.

Parishioners were furious over the gay ceremony and wrote to the Church of Wales to lodge their complaints.

Archbishop of Wales, Dr Barry Morgan, wrote to the vicar warning him not to carry out any more same-sex ceremonies at his church.
