Being Anglican, I am just as anxious about the meeting of Anglican leaders in Tanzania last month -- the meeting reportedly issued an ultimatum that the U.S. denomination pledge not to consecrate another partnered gay bishop. Openly gay Rev. Gene Robinson became the first bishop to be ordanied by the Episcopal Church in 2003, causing consternation among the Anglican Communion and some conservative American congregations.
But the debate over how to respond to the Anglican Communion was nothing but contentious and, in fact, another report says, united most conservative and liberal bishops alike according to the Rev. Susan Russell, a member of the Human Rights Campaign's Religion Council and president of the national Episcopal LGBT advocacy organization , Integrity USA.
Hmmm...we may look back at the rather draconian ultmatums that came out of the primates last month as a blessing in disguise.
