MINNEAPOLIS (AP) _ Episcopal leaders delayed a vote Monday on whether to confirm the church's first openly gay bishop after allegations involving ``touching'' and ``pornography'' emerged against the clergyman, a church spokesman said. Jim Solheim, the Episcopal spokesman, would not elaborate on the allegations against the Rev. V. Gene Robinson. Presiding Bishop Frank Griswold was expected to make a statement later Monday, Solheim said.

Let's pray that reason prevails.

A bump and a ping.

[Paul Atreides]

Yes, let's. However, people seem to lose all sense of reason when it comes to jumping on the homosexual bandwagon.

The whole point of the doctrinal drift of the Episcopal Church since 1930 has been to slowly apostatize from the basic moral teaching of Christ.

This time they moved a little too quickly for some of the people in the pews and they're getting called on it - but the rot is already there. There will eventually be an openly gay Episcopal bishop no matter what happens.

How can a communion which ordains homosexual clergy, female clergy, blesses divorce and abortion and contraception ever stop arbitrarily at any particular moral enormity?

Well I am really sick of listing to the Gay rants and raves.
We have gay pride our version gay shame, all in all if you claim to be christian then they are nothing but sinners and an abomination in the eyes of the Lord. There is no other determination to be made, the Lord has spoken!

They won't. Assisted suicide should be the next Domino to fall.

This is after all the sect derived from Henry VIII's peculiar marital difficulties.

What they will need to figure out now is how many palimony suits should be funded by the church for its gay clergy.
