Hilary Evans, the PCC secretary, said: "We have got a few gay men and, I think, some gay women in the congregation, and it is something we are comfortable with."

I'd bet you have a few adulterers, too. Do the adulterers think that adultery is not a sin? Do they ask that open adultery be accepted and that open adulterers be eligible for election to Holy Orders?

Yes, RonF, as a matter of fact they do. I don't have the numbers to prove it, but I would be willing to bet that the divorce rate amongst Episcopal bishops, priests & deacons is right in line with the U.S. average of 50%. I personally know of several who've been married & divorced multiple times and (in more than a few cases) they were engaged in adulterous affairs with their future spouses. Just my personal opinion, you understand, but I do think that's why so many of these "pointy hats" signed on to elevating Vicky Gene to the bishopric. People who live in glass houses...and all that.
