Two Ministers Forge Friendship Across a Church Divide

From The New York Times-

The two ministers were foes before they ever met, partisans in a war they did not start, but partisans nonetheless.

And now the friendship that resulted, nurtured over Guinness in the bar of Richmond’s storied Jefferson Hotel, at dinner with their wives and during many difficult conversations, is being hailed as one of the most unexpected and intriguing developments in a bitter feud that has split the Episcopal Church in the decade since the denomination elected an openly gay bishop.
