Gay priests in the Church of England are in open revolt over a Church directive that allows them to have civil unions but requires them to be celibate.

The directive (story) to allow gay clergy to form civil partnerships was issued to comply with Britain's partner registry which comes into effect in December.

But, the requirement that gay priests abstain from sex follows a longstanding Church position. The directive, however, now requires them to give an "assurance of celibacy" to their bishops.
