A Church of England bishop has called for 'affirmation' services for people who have changed gender.

According to the Telegraph, Bishop of Buckingham Alan Wilson said it could be possible for the Church of England to introduce something similar, as he launched church group LGBTI Mission.

He said: "I'm not into 'rebaptising' – as an Anglican I think you are baptised once – but I think if people change gender that should be acknowledged and affirmed.
