From Oklahoma-
The worldwide Anglican Communion continues to grapple with the inclusion of gays and lesbians in the church, with mixed results.
The most recent example of the faith group's wrestling with
the issue stemmed from a proposal that Oklahoma's Episcopal bishop made
at a recent leadership gathering.
In the end, the Rt. Rev. Ed Konieczny's proposed resolution
and an ensuing debate resulted in the Anglican Communion's symbolic
leader apologizing for snubbing the spouses of gay and lesbian bishops. A
promise also was made to develop a format for churches in the Anglican
Communion to hear the voices of gays and lesbians and others who bear
the brunt of discrimination.
Konieczny, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Oklahoma,
called it a win for the unity of the Anglican Communion and his desire
to see that the human dignity of all people is respected in the church.
