Gene Robinson is about to be ordained as the first openly gay Bishop in the Anglican Church. Conservatives are threatening to split the church in two if Robinson moves forward. Even some progressives have asked Robinson to step aside to keep the church whole. They’re missing the point. Fighting the ordination of gays are the theological heirs of those who fought against the ordination of women and racial minorities. Robinson’s promotion to Bishop will be a step forward in making sure everyone is welcome at Jesus’ table. This is a moment for all Christians to celebrate. And if the Anglican Church does split and their progressives need a place to call home there is always the United Church of Christ.
