The Human Rights Tribunal continues its hearing today into allegations the Anglican Bishop of Auckland discriminated against a gay man.

Eugene Sisneros, an events coordinator for St Matthew in the City, has accused the Anglican Bishop of Auckland, Right Reverend Ross Bay, of preventing him from entering the Anglican Church's training or discernment programme for priests because he is unmarried and in a sexual relationship with his male partner.
