The future of the worldwide Anglican Communion was in jeopardy last night after the Archbishop of Canterbury said that the election of a lesbian bishop in the United States raised “very serious questions”.
Dr Rowan Williams added that the choice of Canon Mary Glasspool to be a suffragan bishop in Los Angeles had “important implications”. The election of Canon Glasspool, who has lived with the same female partner since 1988, is the second appointment of an openly homosexual bishop in the US Episcopal Church

Guilty! Guilty!
The Anglicans - like the Catholics, except without the congregation.
Something is fishy here.
no wonder why I left that church.
For some reason those at the top seem to think that appeasing homosexuals/perverts.left wing loons like at Kos will somehow make more come to church and pay for that roof.
The idiots have not understood that it does not.
The archbishop who said that to have better peace and understanding with muslims then maybe some parts of sharia law could be implemented in the UK.
AARRGGHHH.
The thing is, this appointment did not come from the top down. This woman would have been elected by a) the clergy of the Diocese and b) the lay representatives of the various parishes, voting as two houses with a majority of each needed for election. Then at least (IIRC) 2/3 of the other Dioceses’ Standing Committees must concur.
This is their second ‘gay’ bishop. Why are they whining now?
On a separate note, why do women have a special name ,’lesbian’, and men don’t?
“very serious questions....
A carpet licker causes very serious questions? No duh your highness.
agreed but it shows the shambles of the church
I heard that there was a segment of the church trying to break away from the more liberal kooks, is that true and do you have info on that please.?
I
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
As that famous of all Brits have said, “It’s a man baby!”
That is one ugly women. No wonder she turned into a dvke.
This is what happens when you have a denomination with no doctrinal standards. Episcopalians are in actuality Atheists with a liturgy.
There’s lots of that out there.
Great. The Anglicans have a Bishop who drinks from the fuzzy cup.
The headline says it all. We should send this to Jay Leno.
Genuine Episcopalians appear to have no refuge but to accept Benedict’s offer of Anglo-Catholicism ...
That was a dirty crack.
But, doesn’t this election have to be ratified by the House of Bishops? The action of that body will be quite telling.
So how many more Anglicans will now become Catholics?
Some headlines just write themselves......
