The worldwide Anglican Church has been plunged into a fresh crisis after a lesbian was chosen as its second gay bishop.
In a move that will dismay the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, Canon Mary Glasspool was elected as an assistant bishop for the diocese of Los Angeles.
The Rev Rod Thomas, the leader of the conservative evangelical group Reform and a member of the General Synod, said: I feel deeply ashamed that this is happening in the Anglican Church.
I think a schism is absolutely inevitable.

I thought it said, “Furry As$ Lesbian...” LOL.

Imagine that: an apostate denomination does apostate things. Who could have predicted it? You know, besides everybody?
Such a scene. “Just because we don’t believe in anything,” sputtered the Rt. Hon. Rev. Hengest Cornfustist, “doesn’t mean we can believe in... well, just anything!”
Satan will not win.
I did the same thing.
But does she meet the Biblical standard of being the husband of one wife?
LOL!
They have indeed!
I am so thankful that the Catholic Church will NEVER allow this.

The Catholic Church wouldn’t allow women, but has already had at least one homosexual bishop (Weakland) although since that didn’t turn out so well, presumably they won’t go there again.
No they won't. But, unfortunately they are more than willing to tolerate homosexual priests and bishops so long as their sexual activities do not rise into public view. And, even then, they will likely tuck them away somewhere until things blow over.
However, a solution for both may be at hand. Send all the homosexual clergy over to the Episcopal Church, and welcome all of the heterosexual clergy of the Episcopal Church into the Catholic Communion. Both will be better off for it and happier to boot. This is especially true for those going to the Episcopal Church where a belief in God is not required.

Let me rephrase (since humans in the Church are sinners.....some worse than others). The Teaching of the Church will NEVER condone homosexual sex. Period.
It will also never condone adultery for the married.
Sin is sin ....and always will be. This is why we should pray for the Church daily.
Even under the new law...
In full revolt over Romans 1
Lol ,,, these splits and divisions are all schisms from the one true Church established by Christ.
Catholic Ping
Please freepmail me if you want on/off this list
Do you see my point now?
Amen! ;-)
Ping!
That's an interesting question. I'm not up on lesbianism but would think that one of the pair would be the "husband" and the other the "wife" and if this "Bishop" plays the wife part, that would disqualify her right there.
and they wonder why Anglicans are flocking back to the Catholic Church? well, DUH...
TEC is destined to be the dyke and fag church — nothing more, nothing less. With a few Communists hanging on for the ride.
