Guest guest Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 Dear Forum, This News is appeared in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution dated Aug. 6 Blake Writes : Over coming 11 th-hour allegations involving pornography and " homosexual harassment, " V.Gene was elected Tuesday as the first openly gay bishop in a mainline denomination. 's historic confirmation followed a surprising series of events that threatened to plunge the Episcopal convention-into chaos.But the drama isn't over.Conservative bishops rejected the outcome and said they will form an alliance with like -minded leaders in other parts of the Anglican communion,the 77-million-member global network of churches to which the Episcopal Church belongs. 's elevation marks the first time major denomination has elected an openly gay bishop.The appointment split the church philosophically and may drive a deeper wedge in the 2 million member denomination.
