The Rev. Michael Joseph Hanley was elected Nov. 20 to be the 10th bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon, pending the required consents. Hanley, 54, rector of St. Christopher's Episcopal Church in Roseville, Minnesota, was elected on the second ballot out of a field of three candidates.
A proposed bill currently before the Ugandan Parliament that, if passed, would extend prison sentences for homosexuals and introduce the death penalty in certain cases has generated outrage from a number of religious groups while some Anglican leaders are being more cautious with their responses.

I like the new "featured in USA Today" ad for the church, particularly these statements:
--We welcome men and women, married or celibate, to be ordained as bishops, priests, and deacons.--Holy Communion may be received by all baptized Christians, not only members of the Episcopal Church.--We affirm that committed relati...onships are lifelong and monogamous.--Episcopalians also recognize that there is grace after divorce and do not deny the sacraments to those who have been divorced.--We affirrm that issues such as birth control are matters of personal informed conscience.--We celebrate our unity in Christ while honoring our differences, always putting the work of love before uniformity of opinion.Read More
