Episcopalians see 'genuine holiness' in gay relationships: Statement in report to Anglican Consultative Council
Leaders of the Episcopal Church, in an analysis requested by Anglican peers overseas, stood by their decision to ordain an openly gay bishop and to bless same-sex unions, with a report arguing that there is a “genuine holiness” among gays and lesbians.
A 130-page report was drafted by seven U.S. theologians and presented to the Anglican Consultative Council, a global steering committee of the 77- million-member Anglican Communion that met June 20-28 in Nottingham, England.
