http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSXLSK2ggjLYiCbCi1HDW0CjnAyfy7La9q-Um8TEMhzV1EklPUn

Tracey Lind, an avowed lesbian who serves as Dean of Trinity Cathedral in Cleveland, Ohio, is on the short list as a nominee to be the next Bishop of New York, replacing retiring Bishop Mark Sisk.

She was previously rector of St. Paul’s, Paterson, New Jersey; the Associate Rector at Christ Church, Ridgewood, New Jersey; and the Director of Community Ministry, Bronx Youth Ministry, in the Diocese of New York. She is 57 years old and married to Emily Ingalls.

If nominated, she will be the third openly pansexual priest to become a bishop in The Episcopal Church. The other two are V. Gene Robinson, 64, Bishop of New Hampshire, and Mary Glasspool, 56, Assistant Bishop in the Diocese of Los Angeles.

article in first post:

:ehh:
“pansexual”?

I realize bloggers are often opinionated, but perhaps it would be best to start the thread with an article which isn’t so eager to disparage the topic being discussed.

Here is a more neutral source:

The Episcopal Diocese of New York has selected two priests, two cathedral deans and one bishop to stand for election as bishop coadjutor.

The nominees are:

the Very Rev. Peter Eaton, 53, dean of St. John's Cathedral in Denver, Colorado;

the Rev. Cathy Hagstrom George, 55, priest-in-charge of St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Dorchester, Massachusetts;

the Rev. Canon John T. W. Harmon, 47, rector at Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C.;

the Very Rev. Tracey Lind, 57, dean of Trinity Cathedral in Cleveland, Ohio; and

the Rt. Rev. Pierre Whalon, 58, bishop-in-charge of the Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe.

The election will be held on Oct. 29 and the consecration is scheduled for March 12, 2012, both at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York.

episcopalchurch.org/80263_129585_ENG_HTM.htm

Or perhaps,

A special diocesan convention will be held Oct. 29 at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York to pick a bishop coadjutor to work with current Bishop Mark S. Sisk until his retirement on or before his 72nd birthday in August 2014. Upon Sisk’s retirement, the bishop coadjutor will become the new diocesan bishop.

A more “neutral” source? Does “neutral”=lukewarm? Up is up, down is down, east is east, north is north, I don’t understand what “neutral” has to do with this? Oh! you mean PC, right?

A more “neutral” source? Does “neutral”=lukewarm?

No, neutral means non-partisan. Partisan sources, such as the blog cited in the first post, are known for shading the truth and leaving out facts which weaken the position of the blogger/writer/reporter. Partisan sources have a tendency to be inaccurate, such as the “pansexual” statement.

Whats a pansexual?

Here is a definition, based on the Random House Dictionary:

adjective
1.
Psychiatry . pertaining to the theory that all human behavior is based on sexuality.

Also, omnisexual. expressing or involving sexuality in many different forms or with a variety of sexual outlets.

**Since she’s Episcopal, does that mean we don’t have to worry that we’ll ever have a Popess? **

That second definition of “pansexual” seems weird.

In the context of the Episcopal Priest, does it ACTUALLY mean she’s NOT actually Lesbian?

More of a “bisexual?”

 

[ringil]

Who cares?

This conserns the Episcopal church. What does disparaging this woman or her Church do to further the True Faith?

It seems posters are just being mean.

It’s unbecomming and unnecessary.

Yes, he is coming very soon. Very soon can be interpreted to be thousands of years because one day to God could be thousands of days. Very soon indeed.

The point of this thread is what?

It means that they should never have used the word Pansexual in their article, as she is a lesbian.

The OP brought up the article. We’re simply commenting on it.

I guess the point of what you call “meanness” (which I disagree it is) is that Catholics here are reminding themselves of why they are Catholics and why they are glad they are not Episcopalians.

I think the article also sheds a light on the issue of how a Christian Church is caving in to the forces of secularism, “gay acceptance,” and political correctness. Something Holy Mother Church is not doing and is a big reason why it will survive any attacks against it-----unlike the Episcopal Church, which may not last much longer.

this is an example of why i am no longer an episcopalian. it saddens me to see how far the episcopal church has veered away from the teachings of the Catholic church.
my hope is that the episcopalians who remember there church for what it used to be and do not approve of what it is today, will join the Catholic church. there are already some anglican parishes which have joined with Rome and use the Anglican Use Mass.
i am sure that the number of episcopal churches will continue to dwindle as most of the congregation is elderly anyway.

 

[He_Man]

Whats a pansexual?

It means you have multiple forms of cross-cutting loves.

Or you prefer to marry a frying pan.

Ummmm, why are you in the World News Forum then. Catholic issues go in the Catholic News forum.

Same reasons there are topics about Michelle Obama, Ron Paul, and the Hurricane here.

And who was being mean? The fact is this is just another sign of the Esplicopalian Church becoming less and less relevant, sadly for them. Though if more come back to the RCC, it will be a great thing. That isn’t mean, that is just the reality of the situation.

Mean would be calling that lady names or something.

 

[antonivs]

It means that they should never have used the word Pansexual in their article, as she is a lesbian.

I agree and you are exactly correct.  However, I think the author used the term as a reference to those who are pushing for gay rights in the Episcopal Church.  

Regardless, perhaps this will drive more conservative Episcopalians into the arms of the Catholic Church.

Because the main subject in the topic is an abomination?

I’m throwing in with those that are disgusted with** public **behavior of that kind. Sin behind closed doors doesn’t affect me or mine. Open and public sin like that is setting a trend that it’s OK and I’m not with them in the slightest. I’m of the opinion that people of good conscience are supposed to speak out, disparagement is called for.

I, too, am a blogger and often opinionated. That is the joy of having your own blog - you write about what you want and try to offer a more in-depth look at something than just the fat that rose to the top.

Homosexuality is wrong whether for a man or a woman - am I correct on this? This article is important because it outlines information about this woman that most other news articles might leave out. This article is about ‘her’ and clearly states ‘if she is nominated’ - so it’s not exactly a bad article just because the author didn’t include the information you think should have put in there.

Bottom line - homosexuality is wrong. Any way you slice it. Women shouldn’t be priests or bishops - nor should any gay person. God clearly told us NO!

This is an abomination. Period.
