You all are taking this thread way too seriously. Robinson’s “theological” flaws are so self evident that he presents little more than a train wreck easily discernible by anyone of serious Christian faith.

So setting aside theological matters and looking instead at the ecclesiological angle...

Robinson is in London to promote his new book, In The Eye of the Storm.

We get the same train wreck. Does Gene "I just want to be the Bishop of New Hampshire" Robinson ever spend any time in New Hampshire? As Dale Price recently remarked in a comment on MCJ, "I'm beginning to think the best place to be if you want to avoid V. Gene is the Granite State."

Now to be fair, the "June bride" will soon be taking a break from his globetrotting to tend to his see... well, at least long enough to celebrate his own self-approved "civil union" ceremony: "It is up to the bishop of each diocese to decide whether to permit such blessings. Bishop Robinson, after consulting with a council in his diocese, has approved his own ceremony."

But then duty calls, so it's back to the (to quote Christopher Johnson) "Please Just Let Me Be The Episcopal Bishop Of New Hampshire" World Tour!

The Ecclesiastical Circus rolls on...

He would, I can see, be impressive in a pulpit on a soapbox.

There, fixed it. You're right, Huber, this is way too easy.
