Episcopalians Delay Vote on Gay Bishop
From the Associated Press, with further background from AgapePress. The details are these: The Rev. Canon V. Gene Robinson, Bishop-elect of New Hampshire in the Protestant Episcopal Church in the USA, was about one vote away from confirmation as the Anglican Communion's first-ever openly homosexual bishop. Apparently the reality of his sinful lifestyle--or at least what the House of Bishops knew already--wasn't enough for them to break their long-standing rubber-stamp policy when it comes to confirming bishops following diocesan elections. But now it would appear that he touched a man inappropriately and put a porn link on an official website. The Presiding Bishop has appointed a "committee" to "investigate" the "allegations." The details that I have are from ABC Radio News, broken first at 21:00 UTC (4:00 p.m. EST) today.::Submitted for your intolerance of sound doctrine [2 Timothy 4:2-4] and your whitewashed wall [Acts 23:3] files.
