And the hope fades

The U.S. Episcopal Church today called for restraint in consecrating openly gay bishops, falling short of the moratorium urged by the 2004 Windsor Report, the Episcopal News Service reported.

The Windsor Report also asks that rites not be developed to bless gay unions, the news service said.

Rowan Williams, the archbishop of Canterbury, responded in a statement on the Episcopal Church Web site, thanking the church for considering the Windsor Report recommendations.

Quote:

``We, therefore, disassociate ourselves from those acts of this Convention that do not fully comply with the Windsor Report,'' said the bishops, including those from the dioceses of Pittsburgh, Dallas and South Carolina.

I am hopeful that it's not over. I think the dialogue will continue.

I share your optimism, GC. I think it is just a matter of time. Every episcopalian I know, including my own Mum, seems to favor a more inclusive future, but the wheels of change grind slowly in such august institutions.
