The answer is really simple: gays called to serve God should start actually examine scripture, repent, and abstain. This is no different from heterosexuals who engage in premarital or extra-marital intercourse. Sin is sin.
People choose to sin. People may not choose to be gay (just as many of us did not "choose" to be heterosexual), but we most certainly do choose to act. Being gay is not a sin; engaging in homosexual acts is. God forgives sinners (all of us are), HE DOES NOT ask us to "celebrate" sin and be happy for sinners while they are committing their sin.
If this woman was actually called by God, she's selective in her hearing. And if she's not comfortable with scripture, she should start her own church, instead (although she'll need lots of prayers!!!).
I never understood this.

"two women" "ordained" that's where the problem began.

I was going to read it before pinging you, and then it got very long. So I never did get to the main point!

I have NO sympathy for this woman. She KNEW that Scripture condemns her lifestyle. Practicing homosexuality is anathema to Christians and she knew that too.
She talked herself, via moral relativity, into thinking that being married to another woman was acceptable and right in the eyes of her Anglican Church.
Someone who can LIE to herself so well is either sick, evil or stupid. I do doubt that she is stupid....after all, a YALE graduate. Mymymy, that leaves only two other alternatives.
How CAN such smart, educated people talk themselves into such evil or sickness?

A bishop can place people such as this in parishes till kingdom come, and the press can also write these poor-little-me pieces till they run out of ink, but they cannot force sincere Christians - and particularly people who willingly pay up on a generous pledge every week - to continue membership in these parishes where they will be forced to sit and listen to this heretical, gnostic, Da Vinci Code type of Gospel week in and week out. That is what the administrators and the social-tinkerers do not seem to understand.

I see it as perverted individuals putting their own selfish wishes before the whole Church. They try to change the Church for their personal agenda, and when the Church kicks back they claim it's unjust.
When you join a club, you accept the rules. If you don't like the rules, then join a different club.

When schism comes, and the churches in Canada and the US are booted out of the Anglican Communion, they can then join together, and rename themselves...Episcopal Church and Anglican Church of Canada..ECACA...sounds apt, doesn't it..?

Had she been dishonest about her sexuality, and lived with Ms. Haussman without benefit of a legal marriage, everything might have been fine.More evidence of how Satan softens up the world for attack, by confusing the minds of men.
