Among Episcopalians, Grief Over Gay Bishop (washingtonpost.com)

"When the Episcopal Church confirmed a gay bishop, Paul Wilcox put on black trousers, a black shirt and a black tie. Then he got out a can of black Rust-Oleum and painted over the word "Episcopal" on the lawn sign at St. Andrew's Church in West Nashville, Tenn., where he has been a parishioner for 15 years."

A sad reminder that America's most enlightened church still has its share of small-minded bigots, albeit perhaps not for much longer.

An interesting footnote to the story is that African and Asian bishops who have been very critical of the United States churches for the confirmation of a gay bishop are now complaining because donations from wealthy New York churches have dried up. How strange.
