From St. Louis-Because Monday's news was all about Hobby Lobby, there's an item from the Episcopal Diocese of Missouri that may have slipped past your radar.
On that same day, the diocese released a statement noting that Bishop George Wayne Smith “supports St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay and City Counselor Winston Calvert in their challenge to Missouri law prohibiting same-sex marriage.”
"Even as the Episcopal Church works to clarify our theological understanding of and pastoral practices around same-sex blessings," Smith said, "I believe that it is not the place of the State of Missouri to deny the privileges and responsibilities of marriage to anyone, basing that denial solely on the gender of the couple."
