[VirtueOnline] July 17, 2005--The Diocese of the Virgin Islands which is a diocese of the Episcopal Church USA (Province II) got a new bishop, its fifth, in the person of the Rt. Rev. E. Ambrose Gumbs formerly rector of St. Andrews Church in St. Thomas. The consecration of Bishop Gumbs took place at the University of the Virgin Islands in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas in June.
But a number of orthodox bishops and archbishops refused to attend the event because they say they are in impaired communion with the Episcopal Church over the consecration of V. Gene Robinson, an openly gay man to the episcopacy. Furthermore several of the bishops who consecrated Gumbs are openly pro-gay.
