An Episcopal priest shocked his Queens congregation recently when he left his wife and married someone else — a much younger man.
The Rev. Juan Andres Quevedo-Bosch, 59, the archdeacon of Queens and rector of the Church of the Redeemer in Astoria, announced over Facebook last week that he got married in a Los Angeles church.
The Cuban-born prelate was pictured on a beach with the caption: “I’m in Miami Beach with my new husband. God is good.”
One churchgoer said many parishioners severed ties to the church after Quevedo-Bosch came out as gay at the pulpit a month ago.
“Most of the people aren’t coming anymore,” the elderly woman said. “Because he’s homosexual, people have stopped coming.”
But she said Quevedo-Bosch also has supporters among his flock at the church, which holds Spanish-language services for a largely Hispanic congregation.

Sounds like he’s probably on the fast track to Bishop.
If his wife had only kept her boyish figure and been attentive to his intimate needs, he wouldn’t have had to do this.
Great Christian denomination, eh? Agree, he is on the fast track to bishop.
Aren’t these people apostates anyway?
Rector? More like Rectum.
another fake church
“I’m in Miami Beach with my new husband. God is good.”
Hold onto that thought you are going to need it...........
If only priests could get married......oh, wait.
They weren't shocked that he was a homosexual, (he's Episcopal - seems to be nearly a church rule) it's the "younger man" part that shocked them....
“...the Archdeacon of Queens...”
An appropriate title.
What would one expect from a priest in Queens?
That goes on my top ten list of sentences I never thought I would ever read in my life. Taking it as a further sign that the end times are a comin'.
It’s sad when I can say that I did not need to read a single word of the article to know exactly which “church” this apostate represents.
His title says it all: The Rev. Juan Andres Quevedo-Bosch, 59, the archdeacon of Queens
Hmmm... Adultery with his lover while he was married, abandoned his spouse, fornicated with his paramour, and lied about it the whole time.
Oh, wait, he’s GAY?
He is a “moral example” in the Episcopal church! Make him a bishop!
Maybe they're not coming because he's a lying, adulterous fornicator who abondoned his spouse.
So how does this work? Can’t the parishioners have any say in who gets to be their pastor? No homosexual pastors in our church? It seems that these people got cheated out of their church, what will happen now? Will another homo take his place?
somehow I don't think his previous wife was equipped to fulfill his "needs".
Thats the problem with playing chess with the Episcopalians (at least the liberal ones). They can’t tell their bishops from their queens.....
