Episcopalians vote again in favor of gay equality: Bishops can bless unions
”I have a number of friends — straight and gay — who requested me to perform their weddings once I’m ordained. I would have felt limited and compromised blessing hetero couples but not gay couples. It’s an issue of justice.”
Mike Angell, who is studying to be a priest, commenting on the vote by members of the Episcopal Church to allow bishops to bless same-sex unions. Earlier in this past week’s convention, they voted to allow ordination of qualified bishops who happen to be gay. Consevative members of the parent organization of the Episcopal denomiation — the Anglican Communion — apparently find these developments problematic and as a move by Episcopalians to do whatever they feel is right regardless of what the rest of the Protestant organization may think.
