LA Episcopal leaders nominate two gays as bishopsLOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Episcopal Church leaders in Los Angeles on Sunday nominated an openly gay priest and an openly lesbian priest as bishops in a move sure to ratchet up tensions in the global Anglican Communion.The move follows an announcement on Saturday by the Episcopal Diocese of Minnesota of three candidates identified to become the Bishop of Minnesota, including a partnered lesbian priest in Chicago.The nominations come just weeks after the 2 million-member Episcopal Church, the U.S. branch of Anglicanism, lifted a de facto ban on the consecration of gay bishops.That was regarded in some quarters as a "ceasefire" between liberal and conservative factions in the Episcopal Church and the wider 80-million member global Anglican Communion.
And this is exactly why there is a deepening chasm within the Episcopal Church. Their acceptance of a gay Bishop turned me away from them.
