Just listened to +Gene's NPR interview on "All Things Considered" -- thought he did a great job.There's also a wonderful editorial in the Concord Monitor entitled:
Bishop Robinson is a profile in courage
Technically speaking, Gene Robinson is the spiritual leader only to New Hampshire Episcopalians, a relatively small population in a relatively small state. But since his consecration in 2003, he has stood as a worldwide challenge to discrimination, to violence rooted in bigotry, to go-slow liberalism that dares not rock the boat.You can read the rest here ... and I hope you will.
Robinson emerged as one of the bravest leaders of our time, but he didn't do it on his own. His New Hampshire flock, those who voted for his ascension to bishop, took an enormous risk - for themselves and for their global church. We are all the better for it.
