The UK's first ever lesbian archbishop has hit back at critics who claimed her appointment will lead to a church exodus, saying it is 'not wrong' for her to love her partner.
Cherry Vann, who is gay and living in a same-sex partnership, was named as the fifteenth Archbishop of Wales last month.
However, her appointment sparked controversy among conservatives who said it goes against biblical teaching and will lead directly to people leaving the church.
Susie Leafe, director of Anglican Futures, added that the move scuppers 'any chance of the Anglican Communion coming back together'.
She explained that anyone who was 'seriously minded' about their faith, would now be 'considering their options'.
