Quote of the Day

“You can preach a judgmental and vengeful and angry god, and nobody will mind. But you start preaching a god that is too accepting, too loving, too forgiving, too merciful, too kind, you are in trouble”

• Bishop Gene Robinson

Robinson is widely known for being the first openly gay priest to be consecrated a bishop in a major Christian denomination, a matter of significant controversy. After his election, many theologically conservative Episcopalians in the United States abandoned the Episcopal Church, formed the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) and aligned themselves with bishops outside the Episcopal Church in the United States.
