The difficulties worsened when the majority of parishioners decided to leave the church rather than accept the leadership of Robinson, who is openly gay.

How fitting.

And homosexuality destroys yet another community. I hope they're happy now.

I guess I don't understand why people didn't choose someone they wanted for their own leader.

He can open a new parish in SF.

My heart bleeds for the folks like Mrs. Gray....their so-called shepherds abandon the faith once delivered to the saints, leaving her to hold the bag. Then they return to take the bag from her....assets and all. It's ugly....and satanic.

Interesting.

Just yesterday the paper reported that Robinson claimed that Jesus could have been gay.

And today the 100 year old church closed it's doors.

What a coincidence!

A church is not a building. A church is an assembly of people. It sounds like this church began closing the day Pastor Sodomite was "annointed" by those who should have known better.

He also said that Jesus might have been a homosexual. We are corrupting God's word, and he will not look away forever.

Though it had been open for 100 years, the church had been hampered for years by financial difficulties. The difficulties worsened when the majority of parishioners decided to leave the church rather than accept the leadership of Robinson, who is openly gay.

But I thought gays were the wealthiest segment of the population - I guess they have better things to spend their money on...

Here's a vaguely creepy quote from the buggering bishop of New Hampshire:

"God's light and God's life ooze over me like warm butter."

Make no mistake about it, the destruction of the church is indeed the agenda of the Gay activists... This "Bishop" may not personally desire this, but he's a pawn being used by those who do, and he should be ashamed of himself for putting his own desires above the good of the church.

Robinson abandoned his family to live with his gay lover. Had his lover been a woman, church leaders would've been up in arms about such behavior and there is no way he would've been made a Bishop. The problem is, is that Griswold, the so-called Presiding Bishop, came into office with an agenda for promoting the gay lifestyle and Robinson was a convenient instrument of that agenda.

The blame for this lies not only with Griswold, who appointed a gay Bishop, but those Bishops who elected Griswold. His agenda was well known prior to his becoming Presiding Bishop.

The church was doomed once it deviated from the teachings of the Lord. Robinson can now start his own church: Church of the Queer Redeemers.
