http://news.aol.com/article/episcopal-diocese-of-los-angeles-elects/800928 quote from link: "Any group of people who have been oppressed because of any one, isolated aspect of their persons yearns for justice and equal rights," Glasspool said after the vote, thanking the diocese for choosing her. Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, the head of the Episcopal Church, is scheduled to consecrate Glasspool on May 15 in Los Angeles, if the church accepts the vote. Glasspool was elected on a seventh ballot that included two other candidates. She won 153 clergy votes and 203 lay votes, giving her just enough to emerge as the winner. The election began Friday with six candidates vying for two vacancies for assistant bishops. The winner for the first vacancy was the Rev. Diane M. Jardine Bruce, rector of St. Clement's-By-The-Sea Episcopal Church in San Clemente. As the balloting progressed for the second vacancy, two other candidates eventually withdrew. The Rev. Kendall Harmon of the traditional Diocese of South Carolina, which recently voted to distance itself from the national church, said Saturday's vote would further damage relations among Episcopalians, their fellow Anglicans and other Christians. "This decision represents an intransigent embrace of a pattern of life Christians throughout history and the world have rejected as against biblical teaching," said Harmon, an adviser to the diocesan bishop. |

Probably a better selection than all those pedophile priests we've been reading about over the years. I do a lot of reading and, over the years, don't recall a single lesbian attack on a child being reported.

Pornographers, homosexuality, pedophilia, necrophilia...the alternative religious movement is on the march.

Not sure about some, but pedophilia is apparently a problem with the Catholic clergy. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/dec/11/pope-irish-catholics-sex-abuse Is this one of the alternative religious movements you were talking about? Religion and war - mankind's most fascinating and odd pursuits. Edited by ngc1514, Dec 16 2009, 06:35 AM.
