The Right Reverend Gene Robinson becomes the Ninth Episcopal Bishop of New Hampshire, and the first openly gay Bishop in the Episcopal Church, in Concord, New Hampshire March 7, 2004. The U.S. Episcopal Church faces major tumult this week when an entire California diocese with more than 9,000 members decides whether to secede in an unprecedented protest over gay issues.

What is so noticeable is that there are no religious markings on his “vestments” anywhere.

Never play chess with an Episcopalian because they can’t tell a bishop from a queen. Anglicans are OK, though. I loved this lady bishop’s notion that the church will never change if these people leave. How dumb is she?
To: Vaquero
is that a staff in your hand, or are you just happy to see me?

Good to see that there are good Californians who will stand against this abomination that is the modern, liberal Episcopal Church.

As the cliche goes, I did not leave the Epsicopal Church, the Epsicopal Church left me.
It’s becoming more and more difficult to remain a member of the Epsicopal Church. Not sure how much longer I can stay.

All he needs now is one of those tiny little motorcycles and he could ride around with the Shriners in parades.

Why should any person which knows and accepts God's word, publically
condone this open behavior which only mocks God's word?
The fact that's it's even taken this long to make this decision to defect is ludicrous.
