Episcopal bishops hope Anglican tent is wide: Waiting for the shoe to drop
The Episcopal Church bishops, waiting for the shoe to drop in London, ended their fall meeting expressing confidence that “our household of faith is large enough to embrace us all” despite acknowledged divisions over the majority’s approval of a gay bishop and tolerance of same-sex unions.
Several bishops, including conservative leader Bishop Robert Duncan of Pittsburgh, boycotted the meeting in Spokane, Washington. Some 130 bishops attended it, far fewer than the 160 bishops who met last spring in Texas.
