The Archbishop of Canterbury has expressed his concern at the election of the second openly gay bishop in the Anglican Church.
Rowan Williams said the move raised “very serious questions” for both the Episcopal Church in the US and the Anglican Communion as a whole.
But he noted that the election of the Reverend Mary Glasspool in the diocese of Los Angeles had yet to be confirmed.
The ABC needs to step up to his responsibilities rather than just expressing concern.
She needs a majority of national Episcopal Church heads to back her consecration.
Why? It wasn’t necessary for WO in 1974. It wasn’t necessary for gay marriages in LA. Why should we think it is necessary now? The fact is that if the consents don’t come, LA will consecrate her anyway. Why bother to ask for consent?
Perhaps LA should just consecrate her now. And when they do submit her name for consent, perhaps dioceses should consider not responding to the consent request.

Yeah. He’s worried. But that’s all we can hope for from him, nothing more.
i am just not really bothered by this event or rw’s response. the rift has already happened, it’s over for a lot of us. this is just the media wanting to stir the pot.
i am still mourning a little, but waiting and praying for AC to recognize ACNA much more than obsessing over this latest outrage. come on RW be brave; move on with recognizing us.
