In Tuesday’s paper, I had a story taking an early look at what the Episcopal dioceses in the states where same-sex marriage is legal — New England and Iowa — will do now that the Episcopal Church, at its general convention last week, granted more leeway to bishops in those dioceses. The bishops I spoke with said they are still pondering their next steps, but they are clearly looking for ways to go further than they have in the past in allowing celebrations of same-sex weddings in Episcopal churches.
Read it carefully noting the details of the communications quoted from Episcopal Bishops.
