From Pittsburgh-Bishops representing the five Pennsylvania dioceses of the Episcopal Church have signed a joint statement supporting legislation that would ban discrimination in housing, employment and accommodations based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
The signers included Bishop Dorsey McConnell of the Diocese of Pittsburgh.
The statement notes that the bill also upholds the right of religious organizations to decide whom to hire and which rituals to perform.
