Dr Jefferts Schori: ‘We can get beyond sexuality’
by Rachel Boulding
18 July, 2008
IT IS “very awkward” that a “duly elected bishop” has been banned from the Lambeth Conference, the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church in the United States, Dr Katharine Jefferts Schori, said this week. She was referring to the Bishop of New Hampshire, the Rt Revd Gene Robinson.
She believes that the decision will backfire, as he will now be given greater media attention. Yet she believes that Lambeth will not be dominated by debates about sexuality, but by “issues of life and death”, such as poverty and suffering in the developing world.
Dr Jefferts Schori was speaking at a press conference in Salisbury on Monday, sitting alongside the first woman bishop of the Anglican Church of Australia, the Rt Revd Kay Goldsworthy, an assistant bishop in the diocese of Perth, and the Dean of Salisbury, the Very Revd June Osborne, one of the most senior female clerics in the Church of England. the rest

There is some disagreement whether +VGR or ++KJS can be accurately described as a “duly elected bishop.”
Why don't you people just wake up and realize that The Episcopal Church of the USA and Anglican elsewhere is filled with gays. From the bishops chairs to the organists bench. The Episcopal Church and all the other dress wearing groups that attract men are mostly all gay. One would be hard put to find a clergy person who is not gay in any religious group.
Grow up and accept life as it is. Be real!
