Three of the seven candidates are gay or lesbian

For the San Francisco church, it's almost a miracle that only 3 out of 7 candidates are openly of the homosexual persausion. It's best, though, to bring this disgusting boil to a head and lance the thing now, IMHO.

If one of them wins, the victory could well fracture the Episcopal Church in America and trigger a schism in the worldwide Anglican Communion to which it belongs.

After the Gene Robinson fiasco, it's evident that installing a horse as Archbishop of Canterbury would not faze most members of the Episcopal Church or the Anglican Communion.

The three-yearly convention is to take up a proposal calling for “very considerable caution” in selecting bishops with same-sex partners.

Then the Episcopal Church has already lost.

None of the four heterosexual candidates opposes gay bishops.

Might as well be homosexual themselves if they feel this way. How nice that they can contradict Scripture because they are so tolerant and accepting and "with it" in the 21st Century.

At 2:15, they are reporting first ballot closed.

Eugene Sutton led with 117 and 39.66%
Mark Andrus had 71 and 24.07%
Jane Gould had 58 and 19.66%

All the rest were at 6% or below. Looks like it will be one of those three.

Well, just damn! The vote's over, and they somehow elected a married straight man from Alabama.

Episcopal diocese in Calif. rejects gay bishops.
