From CBN-A New York bishop now faces disciplinary action after barring all same-sex marriages in his Albany-based diocese.
The Rev. William Love claims the church has been "hijacked by the Gay Rights Agenda," according to The Associated Press.
Last week, the Episcopal Church nullified Love's order. Presiding Bishop Michael Curry wrote that Love's action "may constitute a canonical offense" and referred his case for disciplinary review. While the case is pending, Curry placed restrictions on Love that forbid him from penalizing clergy, laity or worshippers in the diocese for arranging or participating in same-sex marriages.
Last July, church leaders passed a Resolution B012 that gives bishops with theological objections to same-sex marriages the option of having another bishop conduct the wedding ceremony. The new policy went into effect on Dec. 2.
Love said he would abide by the restrictions against him but would appeal any disciplinary action.
