description: "Jeffrey Philip Hywel John is a Church of England priest, who served as the Dean of St Albans from 2004 to 2021. He made headlines in 2003 when he was the first person to have openly been in a same-sex relationship to be nominated as a Church of England bishop. Owing to the consequent controversy he stepped down. In the years since, he has reportedly been considered for at least seven diocesan bishoprics across England, Wales and the Isle of Man."
