[The Christian Post] 5 Mar 2007--The representative body of the Episcopal Church reaffirmed their position that homosexual members are an "integral part" of the U.S. body.
"We wish clearly to affirm that our position as a church is to welcome all persons, particularly those perceived to be the least among us," stated the Executive Council in a letter to the Church. "We wish to reaffirm to our lesbian and gay members that they remain a welcome and integral part of the Episcopal Church."
The Council further welcomed those "who are not reconciled to certain actions of General Convention." Rifts within the church widened when the convention consecrated an openly gay bishop in 2003.
You are welcome as long as you keep your mouth shut, pay your assessments, and do not make waves.
