From Tennessee-
Episcopalians advocating for marriage
equality say the bishop for the Tennessee diocese is five weeks late on
issuing guidelines for same-sex church weddings.
They
mailed letters this week to Tennessee Bishop John Bauerschmidt and the
Episcopal Church's presiding bishop, the Most Rev. Michael Curry,
taking issue with the delay and calling on Bauerschmidt to act.
"We
are gravely concerned that the decision of the General Convention
allowing for same-sex marriage rites to be made available to all members
of the church has yet to be implemented in the Diocese of Tennessee,"
the Jan. 7 letter addressed to Bauerschmidt states.
More than 100 people signed the letters. They are connected to All Sacraments for All People, a grassroots organization pushing for marriage inclusion within the Episcopal Diocese of Tennessee, said Connally Davies Penley, who is on the group's steering committee and signed the letters.
