I just received word that this week’s episode of “State of Belief” will feature openly gay Bishop Gene Robinson and Bishop Jane Holmes Dixon, only the second woman ordained by the Episcopal church chatting up the latest goings-on in the Episcopal church. You might know they made some very gay friendly decisions at the General Convention back in July. “State of Belief” host and Interfaith Alliance president, Rev. Dr. C. Welton Gaddy talks to both as they “offer their unique perspectives on breaking down barriers, whether the chaos and division in the Episcopal Church reflect changing attitudes in America, and how this may impact the Church’s relationship with the Greater Anglican community, comprised of many conservative members.”
The press release said the show airs tonight but I found it already posted here. Good stuff.

A clarification: the Rt Rev. Jane Holmes Dixon (retired) was indeed the second woman to be consecrated as a bishop in the EC-USA. However, there are now twelve women who are bishops. One is the Most Rev. Katherine Jefferts Schori, who currently serves as the Presiding Bishop of the church and another is the Rt. Rev. Catherine Maples Waynick, who currently serves as bishop of our Indianapolis diocese. The first was the Rt. Rev. Barbara Harris, who was notable not only as a woman but also as an African American.
Don’t Episcopalians STILL believe homosexuality is wrong, sinful and deviant. That’s what’s in their official doctrine. It’s just a scam to be gay-friendly, but not change your beliefs.
Ask Vicki Gene – he won;t answer the question.
