From AP:
RIVERSIDE, Calif. — The Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles has elected the second openly gay bishop in the national church and the world Anglican fellowship.
The Rev. Mary Glasspool of Baltimore won election as assistant bishop in Los Angeles in voting Saturday. The first openly gay bishop, V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire, was consecrated in 2003.
The Episcopal Church is the Anglican body in the United States. The election of Robinson already has deeply fractured the global Anglican Communion.
Within the United States, theologically conservative Episcopalians this year formed a rival church, called the Anglican Church in North America.
Glasspool lives with a female partner. Her election as assistant bishop must be approved by a majority of national church leaders.
Let there now not be a shadow of a doubt who the Episcopal Church, and those who emulate them, like the Anglican Church of Canada, really worship. They brazenly have flaunted the Word of God, have openly embraced sin and are leading the souls of otherwise faithful Christians to damnation. Flee from them with your wives and children for the safety of their souls. May God have mercy on all who willingly choose to stand with these merchants of death. The time has come to make a choice.
“This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice and hold fast to him and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fahers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” (Deut 30: 19-20)
