Anglican leaders, represent ing 77 million members world wide, have called homosexuality “contrary to Scripture.” Robinson and his supporters say that is outweighed by the Scripture’s call for love and acceptance of all. “We’ve always had gay bish ops,” Robinson said at one point. “The difference is I’m being honest about it.” Robinson, 56, is widely known and admired in the state, where he has been assistant to the retiring bishop for years. He has lived openly for years with partner Mark Andrew, who was applaud ed by the congre- if do feel that’s coming gatlon when he J & WAS Hi! MANCHESTER, N.H.— The Episcopal Church’s first openly gay bishop-elect said Sunday he agonizes over the tur moil he is causing but believes God wants him to go forward. “This is one of the hardest things I’ll ever do,” the Rev. V. Gene Robinson told about 40 people during religious educa tion hour at Grace Church. “I do have this sense I’m supposed to go forward, and I do feel that’s coming from God and not my own ego. But I don’t know.” Robinson was elected by New Hampshire clergy and parish ioners in June and confirmed by the national Episcopal Church in August. He is scheduled to be consecrated as bishop of New Hampshire in two weeks. The election and confirma tion of Robinson outraged some conservatives, who threatened to divide the Episcopal Church in the United States and the world wide Anglican, Communion of which it is part. At an emer gency meeting in London last week, Anglican leaders warned that Robinson is conse crated Nov. 2, “the future of the com munion itself will be put in jeop ardy.” However, the Anglican Communion’s spiritual leader, the Archbishop of Canterbury, has no authority to discipline the self-governing national churches. Conservative Episcopalians at the meeting said they plan to form an independent network of churches opposed to Robinson’s elevation. The announcement came a week after 2,700 dissi- faEpiscopalians met in Dallas. In a close vote Saturday, the Episcopal Diocese of Dallas voted to withhold $512,000 from the national church to protest Robinson’s election. ii I do have this sense I’m supposed to go forward, and I from God. 9) —The Rev.

Robinson said the vigorous and sometimes bitter church debate over homosexu- ality will contin ue even if he leaves the stage. “It’s not all going to go back to being nice and pretty again. It’s going to be messy for a while,” he said. He added: “This is not our church to win or lose. It’s God’s church.” Robinson predicted the church ultimately will survive the turmoil. “I’ve been here an hour and look! The roof’s '»still on. I think it will calm down when people see not a lot has changed,” he said. LAW cf ORDER Responsible Aggie Unit Aggie Alcohol Awareness Week 2003 October 20th - 24th THE CHOICE IS UP TO YOU.
