gay anglican bishop invested in new hampshire
reuters reported just a few minutres ago that the rev canon v gene robinson became the ninth bishop of new hampshire earlier today, four months after his controversial installation as the first openly gay bishop in the US episcopal church.«i, gene robinson, come to you desiring to be recognised and invested and seated in the chair which is a symbol of that office,» robinson said at a service in concord.
the installation in november sparked fury among conservative anglicans both within the United States and round the world. the american anglican council had condemned the november consecration as «heresy, blasphemy and sin» and vowed to create a new «mainstream anglican church in the united states». they certainly said the same when the first black man and the first woman were ordained priests in their church. the hypocrisy is flabbergasting.
interesting and rather hilarious also to witness how much is invested in these "controversies" regarding service for a deity that doesn't even exist.
