The BBC says:
Openly gay US bishop Gene Robinson was forced to halt a sermon at a west London church after being heckled.
As Bishop Robinson began his sermon a member of the congregation repeatedly called him a "heretic" and said "repent, repent, repent".
He began his sermon by saying how sad it was that the Anglican Communion was tearing itself apart.
But he was stopped when the man in the congregation shouted that the schism was the bishop's fault.
The man's protest was followed by slow hand-clapping by members of the congregation, and Bishop Robinson halted his sermon while a hymn was sung and the protester was escorted from the church in Putney, south west London.
It's amazing how backwards some people are. Then again, when some jerk stands up like this and utters some nonsense, there is always the question of whether the whole scene was orchestrated by others to cause trouble. Whatever, anyone who hates gay people this much is the one who needs to "repent".
