Here’s the thing - the bishop is living in open sin by living with his lover. If he were heterosexual and living with a lover then I would have the same problem with him in a leadership position in the Church. I believe that the Bible is very clear about this - both the Old and New Testaments.

There’s a fantastic Episcopal church here that we have ties to. We have several friends who’ve been members over the years, my uncle is a member, my sister and brother-in-law were married at the church (which is a historical landmark in Fairfax, I think, and quite beautiful), the pastor is wonderful, I have attended many of my friends’ weddings at that church (including one where Joe Gibbs was also a guest - I love to name-drop that one). I have no doubt that Truro will leave the Episcopal Church of America if this guy is voted in as Bishop of NH. They are solidly Anglican and I can’t imagine that they would keep an affiliation with them after this.

UPDATE (Wed 10:30pm): Tony has a pretty good post about it.
