The Archbishop of Wales has called for discrimination in the Church in Wales to end against women and gay people.
The Most Rev Dr Barry Morgan, who is the head of the Anglican Church in Wales, said that the church was in danger of becoming a place where people feel marginalised, during his Easter message.
The Church of England's Hereford Diocese was recently forced to defend itself against allegations of discrimination when it turned down a gay man for a position. The diocese has strongly denied that the man was turned down because of his sexual inclinations.
The Archbishop said, "For Jesus there were no prior conditions for being accepted by God whatever your sex, status or position. But we still live in a church where it is not possible for women to be bishops."
He added: "And in a church, too, where most worshippers are women but all the major committees and councils of most dioceses and province are run by men."
