Oregon Episcopalian Speaks Out

An openly lesbian Episcopalian has a great commentary in The Oregonian this morning asking why local Episcopal officials haven’t defended the consecration of Bishop V. Gene Robinson in New Hampshire.

And why hasn't my church confronted the anti-gay faction's commandment-breaking? They fall into idolatry by holding up their few violent lines of Scripture, straining to block God's love from their baptized gay sisters and brothers. And they bear false witness when they say that just being what God made us is sick or a crime. Or, like the Bishop of Nigeria, they call us "satanic." Rich nations such as the United States do commit satanic acts against poor nations such as Nigeria, but a church affirming the discipleship of queer Christians isn't the problem.

This is a great read from a committed lay person struggling for justice in her denomination.
