Openly gay Chicago priest could be Calif. bishop

[Chicago Sun-Times] February 24, 2006--The Rev. Paul Zahl, dean of Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry in Ambridge, Pa., said that, if either of the gay candidates is chosen as the new bishop, it's a ''definitive thumbing of the nose at the worldwide church.''

Zahl said hundreds of Episcopalians already left the church after Robinson was consecrated and ''for those who are still hanging in there, this election would be the final straw. That's no judgment on the individuals, but on the principle.''
