[ic Wales] 4 Apr 2007--A Church of England Bishop today denied unlawfully discriminating against a homosexual man who was turned down for the post of youth worker within his diocese.
The Bishop of Hereford, the Rt Rev Anthony Priddis, told an employment tribunal in Cardiff that he was complying with the teachings of the Church when he decided not to give 41-year-old John Reaney the job.
The Bishop said the sexuality of Mr Reaney was not the issue but his lifestyle or behaviour was; specifically having sex outside of marriage.
