Good for them. In the Episcopal Church they had the now-famous “Righter Trial” a few years ago, and the right of a Bishop to ordain non-celibate homosexuals was affirmed. The higher-ups who run the national church organization are of the opinion that anyone who is uncomfortable with the fact of open homosexuality in the ordained ministry is homophobic, reactionary, and unloving. A lot of Episcopal clergy feel that having openly homosexual men in the ordained ministry does not raise the statistical chances that teenage boys who might happen to be around such priests in church settings will be preyed upon sexually. Activist groups in the laity are in agreement. Laity who do not agree with this generally keep their mouths shut out of fear of being called intolerant. Or, they leave the church.

The laity should not allow the attempt to marginalize them to succees, though I recognize this is difficult. This tragedy within our church is a call to arms for all our brethren in other churches that have overtly accepting homosexual policies to point out the inherent aggression towards young boys in adult male homosexuals, as evidenced by our scandal and similar scandals in organizations tolerating overt and covert homosexuality.
