Having faith

Under the headline 'Church struggles with the concept of celibacy in same-sex partnerships', here's a report of the Church... struggling:

The Church of England yesterday found itself in the potentially embarrassing position of telling its clergy that if they entered civil partnerships under new government legislation they would have to pledge to remain celibate.
.....
A House of Bishops' statement said: "Partnerships will be widely seen as being predominantly between gay and lesbian people in sexually active relationships. Members of the clergy and candidates for ordination who decide to enter into partnerships must expect to be asked for assurances that their relationship will be consistent with... teaching."
.....
Looking distinctly uncomfortable in announcing the policy, the Right Reverend Graham James, Bishop of Norwich, insisted: "There is not any intention to pry into the lives of clergy. If they pledge to be faithful to the teaching of the church, you take what they say to be the truth."

It's none of my business, but I can see why the Bish would be distinctly uncomfortable. I mean, belief in a benign, all-knowing and all-powerful creator may be hard, but this one really requires some faith.
