[Quincy Herald Whig] 5 Oct 2007--Local Episcopalians were briefed this week on where the long-simmering dispute involving the church's stance on homosexuality stands, specifically the ordination of homosexuals.

The Rev. Lewis Payne of Quincy, a retired Anglican priest, presided over a general information meeting.

"It was nothing major, there was nothing new," Payne said. "These kinds of meetings are always held a couple of weeks before the (state) convention in each of the deaneries, or regional units."
