Episcopalian Church elects lesbian bishop

The Los Angeles diocese of the Episcopalian (Anglican) Church has elected a lesbian to be a bishop.
Mary Douglas Glasspool was elected in early December 2009 - the appointment now has to be confirmed or rejected by diocesan bishops and diocesan standing committees.

The Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams called on American Anglicans to block the appointment of the lesbian bishop.

This has been a divisive issue in the Anglican Communion worldwide - especially since the US Episcopalian Church ordained open homosexual Gene Robinson as a bishop in 2004.

Just last month, the Lutheran Church of Sweden ordained a lesbian as a bishop in November 2009. This followed on from a decision to support the blessing of same-sex 'marriages' within the church.

Sometimes people ask why the issue of homosexuality is one we often address...

The answer?
Homosexual activists are pushing for legal recognition for homosexual relationships in society - such as civil unions, registered relationships and 'marriage'.

At the same time they are pushing for acceptance in the church - both for their relationships and for the ordination of open homosexuals.

No other group in society is promoting their agenda so much, which is why we need to monitor, comment and respond.
