He doesn't want his homosexual AIDS to become public record. Bad for business, you might say.

As a retired bishop doesn’t he still belong to the House of Bishops and go to the Lambeth conference?

Mandatory Retirement? That’s Ageist! (sarc)

Would Reinhold Niebuhr, President Sotero’s favorite theologian, say that all Episcopalians are condemned because we permit a gay clergyperson?
