    Can you imagine placing an openly gay person on the throne of a bishop? Bigots! Surely this is just another example of the insufferable closed-mindedness of American protestants. Discuss.

    the final problem wasn't he was gay but he had supposedly/allegeldy molested someone some time ago.

    that blame was obviously withdrawn.

      Actually there was an accusation that he had some connection to internet pornography, but there was no proof.

        I consider the appointment of an openly gay bishop good news indeed.

            to the US Episcopalians for doing what they think is right and forcing the bigots to show their true colours.

            to the Church of England for failing to take their chance to do the same a few weeks ago.

                hmmm I'm a bit uncomfortable with gay bishops
                Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

                Look, I just don't anymore, okay?

                      The question is, will it make Gays more receptive to religion?

                        Actually, I believe that it will...at least if you're Episcopalian.
