CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The first openly gay bishop in the Anglican church has announced he is divorcing his husband.

When you make a farce out of the institution of marriage, you might as well go all the way.
I wonder if he'll marry a dog next.
It strikes me, that, the whole gay agenda is to make available a larger segment of the population. The current crop of fags, just, isn't cutting it.
Now that the first openly gay Episcopal bishop has divorced his “husband” my heart goes out to his pervert’s children from his real marriage.
“If only homosexual bishops were allowed to get married, this wouldn’t ... oh, wait a minute ...”
ROFLMAO!
So sad Society and Religion have come to this, though. :(
I agree ... sad and embarrassing.
You’re right. For example, the story of David Tuterra, that wedding planner guy on tv. He “married” his partner then the partner decided he wanted a divorce. Seems he was sick of Tuterra’s constant need to bring a third man in to their bedroom. A pervert sick of perversion, if you will. Problem is, they had a surrogate pregnant with twins. The perverts got their divorce, surrogate had twins, they split them up and now each degenerate scumbag each got a baby to play with. We are so lost as a civilized society to let something like this happen. Also, notice how this story got buried by the media?
“None of us are without sin.”
This isn’t the point. The point of homosexual unions, in general and specific, is the attempt at redefining what is sin. It’s not a sin if you love each other is the trope that the homo/pedi crowd has devised, and everyone has bought into.
He is Risen, indeed!!
Does the Episcpal Church even care anymore about divorce among their clergy? I know at one time a parish pastor had to be seriously counseled before the Bishop allowed him to divorce.
See tagline.
This is my surprised face.
*Yawn*
THANK YOU. When my mother left my father and I objected to it, the response I got from my mother was, 'Don't you want me to be happy?' And the counselor she took me to called me judgmental for not wanting her to leave my father.
Our relationship still hasn't recovered, and she's still wondering why. But refuses to listen when she asks and I try to tell her.
I tried to find that graphic, but never found it. It fits much better.
Robinson began his studies for a Master of Divinity degree from the Episcopal General Theological Seminary in New York City in the fall of 1969. While doing an intern year as a chaplain at the University of Vermont, he began dating his future wife, Isabella "Boo" McDaniel. Robinson says that about "a month into their relationship, [he] explained his background and his fears about his sexuality." They continued dating and, as Robinson puts it, "about a month before the marriage, [he] became frightened that ... this thing would raise its ugly head some day, and cause her and me great pain." Robinson and Boo discussed it and decided to go ahead with the marriage in 1972.[2] … Robinson and Boo's 1st daughter, Jamee, was born in 1977, followed by a 2nd daughter, Ella, in 1981.[2] Robinson treasures his marriage stating, "[T]hat is inextricably tied up with having children. And since I cannot imagine my life without Jamee and Ella, it's just a completely irrelevant question for me. And I don't regret having been married to Boo, either, even if there had not been children. It's just a part of my journey, and why would I possibly regret that?"[2] … Robinson came out to his and Boo's friends and he sold out his part of the business to Boo (in the winter it was called "The Sign of the Dove Retreat Center" and in the summer it became "Pony Farm" - Boo still runs "Pony Farm" as a horse camp for children). They remain friends.[2] In November 1987, Robinson met his partner, Mark Andrew, while on vacation in St. Croix. Andrew was on vacation and worked in Washington, D.C., at the national office of the Peace Corps. On July 2, 1988, Robinson and Andrew moved into a new house and had it blessed by Bishop Douglas Theuner, an event which they considered to be the formal recognition of their life together.[2] Andrew currently works in the New Hampshire state government. He was legally joined to Robinson in June 2008 in a private civil union ceremony, followed by a religious ceremony, both in St Paul's Church, Concord.[6][7] Earlier, Robinson had said, "I always wanted to be a June bride."[8][9]
I can’t wait to see how the church explains away the clear biblical command against divorce.
What would be rich would be if they simply argued that since two men could not possibly have “intercourse”, they were never truly “one flesh”, and therefore they can get an annulment.
Christ is Risen!!!!
Since same-sex “marriage” IS NOT marriage, “gay divorce” is meaningless!!!! (Of course, the laws of jurisdictions that accept same-sex “marriage” do not see it that way. There may be financial consequences, etc.)
And—by the way—in a same-sex “marriage” between two men, both are called “husbands”. In a same-sex “marriage” between two women, both are called “wives”. It’s all bogus, of course.
Vicky Gene (aka “Selfish Gene”) Robinson caused an enormous amount of pain to millions of people, and an enormous amount of disruption to the Protestant world. May God heal the pain and disruption of all affected by Robinson’s horrendous actions.
We welcome all of you to check out your neighborhood Orthodox parishes, and to come home to Orthodoxy if you are so called.
Indeed He is Risen!!!!
When I first moved into this neighborhood, there was a small Episcopal church next door. At one time the church was thriving, but the neighborhood had changed and by the time I moved there, the church only had a handful of elderly parishioners. There wasn’t even a pastor. A layman conducted the weekly services. Only times I saw a priest was for Christmas and Easter.
I was raised Catholic, but at that time I was no longer practicing. I attended services at that church and was embraced by the tiny congregation. These were very devout conservative people, faithful to the teachings of Christ. Eventually, the parishioners, including the gentleman who conducted the services, passed on, the church was closed and demolished. A community playground now stands on that site.
I look at the way things are now — gay “marriage,” abortions and what not —:and I think k of this Episcopal church and the good faithful people who belonged there. I can’t imagine them embracing these abominations.
Correct. There WAS no *DIVORCE* because intrinsically, there was NO *MARRIAGE* to begin with. Let us not let liberals define terms of the debate and make crackpot theories gospel truth, such as there is such a thing as so-called “Gay Marriage.”
