Jeffrey John, Dean of St Albans, celibate homosexual and man of principle, twice denied a bishopric, may now sue the C of E: it would be a sad and secularist falling away

Earlier this week, the Daily Mail ran a story about someone I used to know, many years ago, quite well:

A gay senior clergyman who claims he was blocked from becoming a bishop has threatened to take the Church of England to court. Church sources say the Very Rev Jeffrey John, Dean of St Albans, believes he could sue officials under the Equality Act 2010, which bans discrimination on the grounds of sexuality. He has instructed a leading employment lawyer after being rejected for the role of Bishop of Southwark in 2010.
