Bishop Bruno: Transforming Hearts Requires Patience, Teaching
11/08/2006

Progressive activists will have to honor Resolution B033 at least until the 2009 General Convention if they expect to transform the hearts of opponents in The Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion, according to the Rt. Rev. J. Jon Bruno, Bishop of Los Angeles, who gave the keynote address at a Nov. 3-4 meeting of Episcopal Majority held at St. Columba’s Church in Washington, D.C.

Episcopal Majority held its first national meeting on the weekend the Rt. Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori was installed as the 26th and first female Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church. “We chose to meet at this time to show our unconditional support for the new Presiding Bishop,” said the Rev. David K. Fly of the Diocese of Missouri. He was elected president and spokesperson for the group during a steering committee meeting.

Bishop Bruno was interrupted frequently by applause during his address. He counted himself among those pleased with the decision to consecrate New Hampshire Bishop Gene Robinson in 2003, and added that those in attendance had no one to blame but themselves for the negative fallout from that legislative decision.
