[PFKEY]

If the Bishop was gay and said--"look I am gay and I accept it is a sin and I try not to sin" I can understand and maybe even accept the ordination if I was Episcopalian.

Wouldn't that be refreshing.

We are all sinners to be certain. The qualifications as I read them in the scriptures would still exclude this man from being a bishop/elder but not because he is gay per se.

In that being gay only means he finds himself attracted to the same sex.

Unfortunately being "gay" means that he believes that he is sinless when he makes love to his "partner."
