We are tearing the church apart, AGAIN!
« on: October 06, 2008, 10:05:33 pm »
At least one diocese (of the Episcopal Church) has seceded in response to the ordination of the Right Rev. Gene Robinson — the denomination's first openly gay bishop — and more congregations may follow.

The events reflect a growing schism within the broader Anglican Communion, and the numerous social and theological pressures on Episcopal congregations.

.. and to think that the Church of England was founded by a sex maniac of a king who wanted serial divorces..

The Lambeth Convention's treatment (or should I say 'non-treatment') of Bishop Robinson was deplorable.

There are MANY gay priests (and even more members!) in the American Episcopal Church.   Gene Robinson just decided to be 'out' about it.    I hate that it is such a devisive issue in our church.
