I think this guy’s membership in their clergy is wrong.

Him being gay, and entering into a civil union with a partner, I could care less about.

God bless Church Lady for coming up with that phrase.

As for Mr. Robinson, the man makes me sick to my stomach and how I wish he’d GO AWAY!

"The hardest thing is coming out to yourself. You've internalized the same homophobia as the rest of the culture," he said in an interview four years ago.

Soon after the divorce, Robinson met Mark Andrew, who was working for the Peace Corps in Washington. A year and a half later, the two settled in the New Hampshire town of Weare,

Here are two opportunities when he should have stepped down as an Episcopal Priest.

The first when he decided that he could not live as a heterosexual married man. The other when he decided to live as a homosexual.

On each of these occasions he chose to live as a hypocrite and a living assault on his vows.

His superiors in the church also failed in their duty. When he was discovered to be living as a homosexual he should have been counseled, reprimanded and finally defrocked.

Anyone attending this church is just as culpable as their bishop.

We’ve recently taken to attending one of the VA churches that split from the ‘mainstream’ Episcopal Church. What a delight! Frankly, I am looking forward to the Richmond Diocese getting its hypocritical rear kicked in court.

The entire Robinson matter is amazing to me ... how many ministers/rectors have been forced to resign for conducting heterosexual relationships outside marriage? But it’s ok to leave your wife and two children for a male lover. Go figure.

Will she attend the ceremony celebrating the ‘civil union?’ Let’s wait and see just how much media attention THAT one gets.

He told his girlfriend, Isabella, about his struggles, but they married anyway in 1972, moved to rural New Hampshire and had two daughters. Robinson eventually realized he would not change and the two divorced.

Interesting choice of words. "Would not", instead of "could not".

Mat 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

"Fifteen to 20 years ago, most Americans would have told you and been reasonably honest that they did not know a gay or lesbian. Now, there's not a family left, or a co-worker, that doesn't know someone," he said.

Sounds like they've been RECUITING very effectively (something they swear they don't do, but they must.)

**Robinson said his long journey began as a boy in Kentucky when he found he was not attracted to women. As an adult, he spent two years in therapy seeking a “cure” for his homosexual urges.**

But that could have been the Lord guiding him to a single, chaste [celebate] life as a minister or priest. Does not necessarily mean “gay”. Our society has brought on this misconception in my opinion.

I wonder if it ends up being a good thing that the first gay bishop is so mentally ill. Isn’t it clear that he has a desperate need to have people approve of everything he does.

Vicky Gene Robinson checked into an alcohol rehab center on Feb. 1, 2006. He spent a month drying out there, and hasn’t returned to anyone’s knowledge so far.
