Now that the Episcopal Church has confirmed the election of a gay diocesan bishop, I'm curious what effect this will have on Called to Common Mission,
our full-communion agreement with that church. Will the ELCA, which
disallows a noncelibate homosexual serving as a parish pastor, allow a
noncelibate Episcopal bishop to participate in the laying on of hands
in the ordination ceremony? I think the time has arrived to reconsider
CCM.
