A conservative Anglican bishop called for Bishop Gene Robinson to step down this past week. Bishop Robinson responsed to that in a way that put the issue of his ordination and service in perspective:
From the Christian Post:
"Those calling for my resignation seem to be under the impression that if Gene Robinson went away, that all would go back to being 'like it was,' whatever that was! Does ANYONE think that if I resigned, this issue would go away?!" New Hampshire Bishop Gene Robinson said Wednesday in his blog.
"We are not going away, as much as some would like us to," Robinson added, referring to gays and lesbians.
They SHOULDN'T go away! GLBT people have just as much right as anyone to a seat at the table of the Lord, and therefore should have equal opportunity to serve in a ministry capacity.
It's really a very simple issue, but never underestimate the power of organized religion to make things very complicated.
