ECUSA Elects Lesbian Bishop

The story of the Episcopal church's election of a lesbian bishop broke yesterday and I didn't have time to blog on it. You can read the TimesOnline's version here.

In fact there's not really very much to say that has not been said already umpteen times. Archbishop of Canterbury: "This raises serious implications..." Evangelicals:  "We really are going to leave this time. We really are. We really mean it this time. We do." Liberals: "One more step away from homophobia! Hooray." Anglo Catholics: "A woman bishop and a homosexual! Does that count as two strikes or one?"

The Lutherans beat them to it:

Of course, there is cross-pollination now. It's all very special, isn't it?

Now we know who will where the pants in that same-sex relationship. “Don’t tell me about God, my partner is a Bishopress!”. He He!!

And the catholic church won't end ecumenical dialogue with this people no matter how liberal they get.
