The Church of England (CofE) is investigating a vicar after he called the institution’s first transgender archdeacon a “bloke”.
The Rev Brett Murphy faces an official rebuke from the CofE over “intentionally derogatory and disrespectful” remarks he made about the Rev Canon Dr Rachel Mann shortly after her appointment in June.
LGBT+ campaigners had hailed her appointment as a “beacon of light and hope”….
The Rev Mann declined to comment.
She previously told The Telegraph: “I’m self-evidently a woman, but I’m glad I was once a man.”
The Lord moves in mysterious ways.
