Integrity Applauds Nominations in the Episcopal Diocese of California
Integrity News - Press Release
20 February 2006

Integrity is pleased by the wonderful diversity of the nominees for the next bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of California-including both a gay man (the Very Rev. Robert Taylor) and a lesbian woman (the Rev. Bonnie Perry). It was inevitable that another gay/lesbian person would eventually be nominated to the episcopacy. Whether or not Robert or Bonnie is elected by the Diocese of California, it is inevitable that another gay/lesbian person WILL eventually be elected, confirmed, and consecrated to that order of ministry as the Episcopal Church continues to live into its call to fully include all of the baptized into the Body of Christ.

The job of the diocesan search committee was to nominate the best possible candidates-and they have certainly done so. All of the nominees are well qualified to be a bishop.
