More than one E priest wanting to be a Bishop has been shot down when those voting for him found that he was having an affair with a woman, who was not his wife.

Years ago in our diocese, Northern California, a parish looking for a priest had narrowed it down to a couple of candidates. The selection committee was contacted by the wife of the priest. She said that her husband, the priest, was having an affair, and it was not the first one. He was dropped from consideration immediately.

About five years ago a female priest was getting a divorce from her husband. She and a male priest who was getting a divorce started seeing each other. The Bishop told both of them to knock it off. If he caught them living together, they would be out of a job as priests under him. Yet, he voted for the Gay Bishop last week, apparently. If true, a real fouled up double standard.

Few folks are 'gay' (and I assume this is true among liberal Episcopalians as well). Few 'gays' are married men who abandoned their families. Do you think perhaps it might not be a question primarily of some 'gay agenda', but one tactic in a more general attack on the traditional family?

The 'gays' have their thing, which need not impinge on the traditional family at all. But the traditional family creates a sysytem of loyalty not subordinate to the state.
