[Burlington Free Press] 3 Nov 2007--The leader of the Episcopal Church of the United States said Friday that church dissidents unhappy with the ordination of an openly gay bishop in New Hampshire should refocus their energy on more pressing world problems.
"Obviously a handful of our church leaders are still upset and would like to see the church never ordain and never baptize a gay or lesbian person," said Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, in Burlington to attend the annual convention of the state's 175-year-old Episcopal diocese.
"We need to refocus on more life-and-death issues like starvation, education, medical care."
