A Church Asunder
I just took in a really good article (”A Church Asunder“) published in last month’s New Yorker. The news context for it is the recent appointment of Gene Robinson as the Episcopal Church’s first openly gay bishop. But the piece does a really good job of putting the current controversy in historical and global perspective. It’s a rare article that brings the reader to an understanding of the philosophical and strategic concerns of both sides of an issue.
If your read on, I’ve excerpted some great quotes from Frank Griswold, the presiding Bishop of all Episcopal churches in the U.S.
