I just wish he could believe I am following my call from God as best I can," Robinson reportedly said. Bishop Robinson - hah! - has a calling from God to be a rump-ranger. The hypocrisy, narcissism, and egoism is astounding!

He told the interviewer about his love for the Anglican Communion, but said he would never step down, as it would go against God's call for his life.

Just like Nestorius. He felt God was calling him to be a heretic too.

I still can’t understand how a Church that vows to do the will of God has a Bishop that is clearly in violation of that by living in and promoting sin. How can this Church venture to give moral guidance, especially in telling kids to practice abstinence, when their own Bishops aren’t?

If a heterosexual Episcopal bishop had a live-in girlfriend, I think he would receive more criticism than Vicki the Eminent.

Episcopal divorced alcoholic gay bishop.... Just to make things complete.
He was unqualified for the office on the first two counts (apparently there were people aware of his alcohol problem even before his election).
And of course, politics turned his third "disqualifying property" into the reason for his election.
It's still amazing to me, the depths to which politics will drag groups of people.

Is there anyone left who wonders why pedophilia/child abuse is rampant? One abomination leads to another . . .
Romans 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Hope he’s more faithful to this partner than he was to his first-wife. If nothing else, his inability to be faithful or maintain his sacred marital vows should have been reason enough for his NOT being a bishop. If he couldn't’t be faithful to his wife, how can he be trusted to keep his promises to his church?

More heretics.
Too bad for the Episcopalian church. It's not surprising. Their founder (Henry VIII) was a mere mortal who left the true church so he could get divorced and beget a son. In the end, a daughter ruled and the entire "new church" was FOR NOTHING. All the acrimony, death, suffering and hardship he caused was FOR NOTHING.
Now the Episcopalians, scions of the Church of England, are getting "married" open homosexuals as their priests and priestesses.
They must have a different Scripture than other Christians.
This is a sad case of "what goes around....."

We hear about whole congregations that are swimming the Tiber, or heading East.
God bless them all; may He give clarity to their minds, determination to their hearts, and wings to their feet.
Methinks that is wisdom to desert the ship that is sinking in the mud formerly occupied by Sodom and Gemorrah.

What this bishop needs (and you already know it), is prayer! I neither condone, support nor endorse his lifestyle but the members of the Episcopal and Anglican Churches, who are staunch adherents, stand in witness to an unspeakable breach of their christian faith. There is far too much pain that requires healing and THEY are the innocent victims of this travesty.
In 2004, the son of a Maronite Catholic family was enrolled in the First Grade at a public school in the state of MA.
NEWTON, Mass. L. George Chedid wants his eldest son to learn about math and science and all the rest of the academic subjects that children learn in elementary school. But he draws the line at his boy learning about same-sex marriage especially at the impressionable age of 7. Chedids son was in first grade at Burr Elementary School in Newton, Mass., last spring when the principal announced over the intercom that the state was officially recognizing same-sex marriages. The school then sent several of its homosexual teachers to various classrooms from kindergarten through fifth grade to explain what this meant and to herald the law as a wonderful civil-rights advancement, said Chedid, an engineering professor at Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston.

It's still amazing to me, the depths to which politics will drag groups of people.
This is just the beginning!

Its all about him, isn’t it. No question about Vicky Gene being Satan’s agent, forget about repentance. I wonder what his ex-wife and children think about this?

Homosexuals openly practicing in the priesthood seems to be one of the first signs of a failing denomination, after women preaching. To see this pattern happen time after time, and watching once-Christian denominations falling into the same traps of liberality and heresy is getting almost routine.
