Episcopal Church opens doors to gay clergy

Last night the General Convention of the Episcopal Church voted to pass measure D025 allowing gay clergy to serve in the church. According to numbers posted by the Associated Press the vote was overwhelmingly in favor.

Lay people voted 78-21 and clergy voted 77-19 to approve the measure. The House of Bishops had earlier voted 99-45 to adopt the statement.

Maybe one day the United Methodist Church will one abide by its tagline too: Open hearts. Open minds. Open doors.
