Episcopal Bishops Take Momentous Step in Support of Marriage Equality

The New York Times
July 15, 2009
The bishops of the Episcopal Church agreed Wednesday to support Bishops blessing marriages of same-sex couples, particularly in states that honor such marriages. Over two days of debate, some bishops said they felt compelled to act because of their pastoral responsibility to gay couples who were increasingly coming forward to ask the church to bless their unions. Many also said they saw it as a simple matter of granting equal rights to gay men and lesbians. [Link]
