I'm not Episcopalian, but I did read yesterday that the bishop here in Oklahoma voted to confirm the homosexual. Some of his parishoners are vocally unhappy about it.
Yeah, the Bishop in Baltimore (Robert Ihloff) did as well. I think what is somewhat more upsetting is the fact that they are still trying to play both sides. Many of them are saying things like "I understand the concerns" and "we have a very wide divergence of opinion" and "this is only one of many issues being dealt with" and so on. They are trying to downplay the whole thing in an effort to avoid the schism that should take place after a moral departure of this magnitude. You can't play politician from the pulpit. I am a Catholic, and I'm just as updet over some of the things that have gone on in the Catholic Church... but at least we don't (and never will) have an official sanctioning of this activity!
The site below lists the vote by each Bishop, their name and where they are Bishops.
