From Albeuquerque-At the time of her 2008 visit to Albuquerque, Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori headed a congregation torn, both in New Mexico and nationally, over the role of gays and lesbians in the church.
The Episcopal Diocese of the Rio Grande was preparing to select a new bishop to replace former Bishop Jeffrey N. Steenson, who resigned in 2007 to join the Roman Catholic Church over the issue.
Several New Mexico congregations had split from the diocese and others were discussing similar moves.
