The first openly homosexual Archbishop of Wales, Cherry Vann, stated that after her appointment, some believers left the Anglican Church. She assures that she takes this "very seriously". The woman said this in an interview with the BBC, reports Christian Today.
According to Vann, the church strives to welcome LGBT+ people, but some parishioners "still" have difficulties with this.
The appointment of Cherry Vann, who became the first openly homosexual archbishop not only in the United Kingdom but in the entire Anglican Church, provoked a sharp reaction from Anglican traditionalists. The GAFCON movement called this decision "another painful nail in the coffin of Anglican Orthodoxy".
As reported by the UOJ, Anglicans around the world are uniting against the appointment of a female archbishop.
