A priest of 44 years has been banned from taking services in the diocese of Winchester because he married his gay partner.

The Church of England has allowed the Reverend Canon Jeremy Davies to officiate in services in the Diocese of Salisbury.

The clergyman spoke to Radio 5 live about opening the subject up and admitted that we will hear a number of "different points of view".

"There is a process going on, where the mind of the Church is being determined, the Bishop's guidelines is one stage of that process.

The conversation we're having now, is a tiny part of that process. Opening the subject up, others listening to us with have other points of view. Some will be persuaded by the argument I'm putting forward, others will stand behind the Bishop of Winchester and will think that he is right," he said.
