[Episcopal] Bishops refuse alternative for traditionalists
NEW YORK (AP) -- Episcopal bishops meeting privately in Texas have rejected demands from the world's Anglicans that they provide an alternative leader for conservatives who oppose ordaining homosexuals -- a move that brings the church to the brink of expulsion from the Anglican Communion.
In the strongest and most direct language yet defending their support for homosexual relationships, the bishops said that accepting a second leader for traditionalists would violate Episcopal Church law and the founding principles of the church.
"We cannot accept what would be injurious to the church and could well lead to its permanent division," the bishops said in the resolution.
No mention of how ordaining practicing homosexuals violates the founding principles of the church.
