| Gay American Bishop In A Snit For Being Excluded |
| 2008-07-13 |
| The Anglican Church's only openly gay bishop says banning him from a once-a-decade meeting is a mistake. The Most Rev. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire has not been invited to the Lambeth Conference, a summit of Anglican bishops that starts in Britain on Tuesday. Robinson was consecrated bishop of New Hampshire in 2003 by the Episcopal Church, causing outrage among conservative Christians. Robinson is quoted by Britain's Sunday Telegraph newspaper as calling it a mistake to ban him from the conference. Instead, he says he'll use his London sermon to denounce Anglican bishops who preach intolerance of homosexuality. |

| #2 Hey, bishop, they don't want you around. Get it? So be a good lad and go off to bugger yourself on your own. Then go start the unstraight church of Episcopals. Those who wish may join you. Those who don't, well just bend over with your friends and give the straights a parting shot. I will be among those who see your backsides. |

| #1 From an orthodox standpoint: Robinson's presence as an openly practicing homosexual, and demands that his inherently disordered behavior be accepted as "normal", in contravention of a coouple of millinea of biblical and theological restrictions against that sort of thing (sexuality outside of marriage, marriage reserved to man and woman) is a symptomatic of the rot that has infiltrated the Anglican Church. There will be a schism. Robinson and his gang will go their own way and end up fading into unitarianism, and other heterodox and heretical positions. The orthodox part of the Anglican church will likely move further into orthodoxy and possibly rejoin with the Catholic Church. |
