So this is some of the oversight in which some of the Church of England bishops are engaged (from the Guardian):
'Last Tuesday, bishops in the House of Lords were still fighting for the church's right to discriminate in employment, not just among the clergy (there is already exemption for them), but its other employees too. They were opposing the government's equality bill and, since it is unlikely that they want to discriminate against black or disabled folk, one must presume it is sexual orientation that is at issue. Dr Peter Forster, bishop of Chester, argued that the proposed legislation "concentrates too ... excessively on the rights of the individual, essential as these are".'
Guess they have overlooked that bit in scripture (Galatians) that talks about how in Christ all are one.
