U.S. Episcopal Church Is Urged to Apologize for Gay Bishop
[New York Times]
A report by the Anglican Church issued in London today calls on the Episcopal Church USA to apologize for appointing an openly gay bishop and to refain from promoting any other clergy living in a same-sex union.
In consecrating V. Gene Robinson as Bishop of New Hampshire last November, the report said, the Episcopal bishops "acted in the full knowledge that very many people in the Anglican Communion could neither recognize nor receive the ministry as a bishop in the church of God of a person in an openly acknowledged same-gender union."
The Lambeth Commission's report invited the Episcopal Church "to express its regret that the proper constraints of the bonds of affection were breached" in Archbishop Robinson's election.
Until there is an apology, the report says, those who took part in the consecration, which would include the American body's presiding bishop, the Most Rev. Frank T. Griswold, should consider whether to withdraw themselves from functions of the Anglican Communion.
