 'It was difficult for my wife... she married what she thought was a straight guy': How Britain's 'first non-binary CofE priest' came out to their spouse and three children after having a 'revelation' from reading the story of Adam and Eve

    • Bingo Allison is believed to be the CofE's first openly non-binary priest (that is gender queer or bi-sexual).
    • Grew up in 'strongly religious household' and raised to see being gay as 'sinful' 
    • They experienced an epiphany seven years ago while reading a Bible passage
    • The Church of England's 'first' non-binary vicar said it was 'difficult' when they came out to their wife and three children after having a 'moment of revelation' while reading the story of Adam and Eve.

      Bingo Allison, 36, who defines as gender-queer and uses the pronouns 'they/them', experienced an epiphany seven years ago while reading Genesis 1-3 in the Old Testament.

      The vicar, who works in Liverpool, said they came to terms with their gender identity while reading the story and realised: 'There's space in God's creation for change and transformation, just because you're created one way doesn't mean that you can't live another'.
