"Anglican bishop fined for refusing gay youth worker"

"An Anglican bishop has been ordered to pay a heavy fine and undergo “equal-opportunies training” for refusing to approve the hiring of an openly homosexual man for a post in youth ministry." - CWNews

Scanning headlines all day sometimes has its toll. When I first read the headline for this story I thought it said, "Anglican bishop fined for having gay youth worker" and I thought to myself "Oh great, here we go again."

Not only was the anglican bishop fined roughly $92,000, but "The tribunal ordered that officials of the Hereford diocese who are engaged in hiring employees—including the bishop-- should be given training to make them more sensitive to homosexual applicants."

I wonder if the anglican diocese could refuse an athiest who wanted to direct anglican youth?
