From Maine-
The Episcopal Diocese of Maine has consecrated an openly gay bishop for the first time.
The
diocese says Rev. Thomas James Brown was ordained and consecrated its
tenth bishop on Saturday in a ceremony that drew more than 900 people to
St. Luke's Cathedral in Portland. Twenty-seven Episcopal bishops and
more than 100 clergy from Maine participated in the service.
Gene
Robinson, the retired Diocese of New Hampshire bishop and the first
openly gay bishop, says Brown "stands on the shoulders of many other
LGBTQ priests."
Brown is
originally from Michigan and trained at parishes in California and his
home state. He has also served in Vermont and Massachusetts. Brown says
he is "especially grateful to be welcomed by loving and wise bishops in
New England."
