The Church of England (CofE) has re-opened an investigation into one of its former clergy over comments he made about a transgender priest.

Reverend Brett Murphy has accused the CofE of “weaponising” its complaints process as he now faces being formally disciplined again over his comments after describing the CofE’s first transgender archdeacon as a “bloke.”
