The Bishop of Liverpool the Rt Rev Paul Bayes made the remarks in a blog titled '"Calm Down Dear..." – Love and Anger in the Church'.
The Bishop, who has previously spoken about reassessing his own views on homosexuality, urged LGBT people to "bear with" the Church's leadership.
Writing to LGBT Christians, the bishop said, "be warmly angry, be hot with anger, but do not boil away."
"Make yourself heard, and if people like me act as if we know you better than you know yourself, then set us to rights, tell us the truth, motivate and stir and provoke us to know your anger as you know it."
"And then, please, for all our sakes, exercise your courage, the virtue by which your aggression becomes reasonable. And bring your courage to bear on the councils of the church. And share facts and logic and truth and history and perspective, and (yes, of course!) argument. But never lose your anger, even after you've let it blow through you as the sun goes down, and refused to allow it to consume you. Bring your next-morning anger, your tempered anger, your reasonable passion, the truth of how you feel, and contribute it to the whole community, which desperately needs to listen to it."
The bishop said Christians have often treated anger with suspicion and expected people to "amputate it or repress it or ignore it." He said the Bible "makes room" for anger.
He attacked the response from "men at the top" of the Church for approaching anger with a "calm down dear" mentality. He said such an approach was "old, infuriating, demeaning".
"People whose inner and outer lives are deeply impacted by an issue, and who become angry as a result, are discounted precisely because of their anger. This has been the age-old fate of...any oppressed group, and it is the fate of many LGBT people in the Church today."
The bishop was writing on the viamedia.news blog which was set up by the General Synod member Jayne Ozanne who recently came out as a lesbian.
