No wonder there's a schism in the Worldwide Anglican Communion

The only prayer I'm likely to make in response to this is a prayer of thanks that I'm not a Scottish Episcopalian. (With perhaps a footnote hoping that George grows up to be heterosexual -- and a better man than his grandfather, Prince Chuck.)

That this sicko clergyman - a provost, no less - has a following at all does NOT speak well for the congregation attending services at St. Mary’s Cathedral in Glasgow.
