Episcopal Diocese Rebukes Gay Stand

OrlandoSentinel.com:

The Episcopal Diocese of Central Florida became one of the first in the nation Saturday to officially reject the national denomination's policies on homosexuality.

By wide margins, delegates to a special diocesan convention gave Bishop John Howe a strong conservative mandate to take with him to a summit of conservative Episcopalian leadership in Dallas next month.

The Episcopal Church, USA, has been in turmoil since August, when its general convention in Minneapolis confirmed the Rev. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire as the denomination's first openly gay bishop and allowed local parishes to bless same-sex unions.
