Rowan Williams silent on Ugandan gay genocide bill but blasts nomination of lesbian bishop-elect

[ccharles000]

Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams is really showing his spots. He still refuses to speak out against the pending gay genocide legislation in Uganda, but wasted no time in immediately condemning the Los Angeles Diocese's nomination of the Rev. Canon Mary D. Glasspool. Glasspool is a lesbian, and that is apparently the only facet of her being that matters to Williams.

The election of Mary Glasspool by the Diocese of Los Angeles as suffragan bishop elect raises very serious questions not just for the Episcopal Church and its place in the Anglican Communion, but for the Communion as a whole.

The process of selection however is only part complete. The election has to be confirmed, or could be rejected, by diocesan bishops and diocesan standing committees. That decision will have very important implications.

The bishops of the Communion have collectively acknowledged that a period of gracious restraint in respect of actions which are contrary to the mind of the Communion is necessary if our bonds of mutual affection are to hold.
