Blessings of same-sex marriage and removal of an informal ban on gay bishops are expected to be the top items at the upcoming 10-day meeting of the Episcopal General Convention, which starts Wednesday in Anaheim, Calif.
Since the 2006 General Convention in Columbus, Ohio, the number of states that have legalized same-sex marriage has increased to six.
Bishops from those six states – Vermont, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Iowa and Connecticut – have put forth a resolution asking a “generous and flexible response” to same-sex couples seeking to be wed in these states, according to Religion News Service.
