CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — In 2008, when the Right Rev. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire was excluded from a global Anglican gathering because of his sexuality, Desmond Tutu, who died Sunday, came to his defense.
“Gene Robinson is a wonderful human being, and I am proud to belong to the same church as he,” Tutu wrote in the foreword to a book Robinson published that year.
Robinson, who in 2003 became the U.S. Episcopal Church’s first openly gay bishop, said Sunday he has been trying to live up to those words ever since.
“It was quite surreal because I was taking grief from literally around the world,” he said in a phone interview. “There was probably at that time, and maybe still, no one better known around the world than Desmond Tutu. It was an astounding gesture of generosity and kindness.”

As my paternal grandmother said during the mid-1970s: "I didn't leave the Episcopal Church. It left me." I walked out of ECUSA in NOV 2003 after 48 years when VGR was consecrated bishop of the Diocese of NH.
Very recently I was considering checking out an ACNA parish nearby, then I read this ...
Ex-SBC Beth Moore Joins Anglican Church
Some bishops ordain women as priests and commission them as church planters.
Some bishops only ordain women as deacons.
Some bishops do not ordain women but will license a woman to serve in a particular church that requests it.
Some bishops do not receive women in Holy Orders at all.
This is especially dangerous because apart from existing no such thing biblically as a woman priest or pastrix, it creates a ready-made rift that is rife to exploit, particularly because the same scripture twisting used to allow for the ordination of women is employed to push a liberalizing position on sodomy. You’ll never find a church that is pro-LGBTQ but also doesn’t ordain women.
There have been Gay bishops for centuries, most famously in the US Cardinal Spellmann. Should be first OPENLY gay bishop.
^^ this. You can’t be that far out of bounds with G-d’s natural law and have a spiritual lesson for others other than a ‘what not to do’ message.
STFU faggot. You are neither a bishop, elder, or pastor according to God’s Word, the only thing that matters.
You are disqualified from holding such office.
Luke 17:28-30
King James Version
28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

Besides being a queer Robinson is an arrogant self-righteous jackass.
As was the late great Bishop Fulton K Sheen. Both were unashamed patriots and strong friends of the US military.
God accepts those who may be inclined towards perversion but abstain from it...so should His Church.

You mean “Selfish Gene” Robinson!!!!
