An Adelaide based Anglican priest accused the church of discrimination after being denied permission to say mass and celebrate sacraments because of her marriage to her female partner.
Sorel Coward was ordained almost 25 years ago but after transitioning from male to female in 2014, she could not practise because the church now classified her marriage as same-sex.
She regularly corresponded with Archbishop Of Adelaide Geoffrey Smith about the matter but was once again denied permission to officiate last year.
She continues to stay with the church, working as a gender diverse therapist, saying its her job as a priest to stand up for minorities.
