Bishop Kee Sloan, the head of the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama, voted in favor of a new ritual of blessing for same-sex unions that the Episcopal Church approved July 10 during its General Convention.
But he won’t allow priests in the Diocese of Alabama to perform it, he said.

+Sloan was apostate for voting Yes for SS Blessings (Marraiges) and apostate again for denying his flock the benefuts of this new TEC revelation. In 2010 there were only 44 Marraiges in the Dio for its 50 churches. Statmann

You have to laugh/cry at such yes/no responses.
On another thread, the Cathedral Dean and Chapter in this diocese have taken a strong stand against SSBs. Any bishop wants to avoid conflict with his Dean and chapter, so this bishop is pulled in two opposed directions.
Pray that +Sloan’s eyes will be opened and his heart changed. And if that is not to be, then pray that the clergy and laity of Alabama will be empowered to select a good shepherd to replace him when the time comes.
