Canon Jeffrey John “marries” partner in secret
The Church of England’s most controversial homosexual cleric, the Dean of St Albans, the Very Rev Jeffrey John, has secretly “married” his long-term partner, another Anglican priest.
Dr John, who was forced to stand down as Bishop of Reading in 2003 amid an international outcry, entered into a civil partnership with the Rev Grant Holmes, a hospital chaplain, at a local register office last week.
