Chane in lawsuit against homeless mission

From VirtueOnline:

This past week, Bishop John Chane of the DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON once
again showed his true colors. He filed a lawsuit against Central Union
Mission, a highly -respected mission outreach to the homeless of
Washington, D.C., saying that a land swap giving the dilapidated Gales
School, on Massachusetts Avenue NW near Union Station, to the Central
Union Mission, would violate laws regarding the separation of church and
state.

After I wrote this story, Brad Hutt, an activist layman and chair of the
American Anglican Council - Washington, wrote VOL to say that there was
more to this story than I knew. He uncovered the nasty truth that the
underlying issues behind this lawsuit were far more important than what
is on the surface --- the mission's refusal to hire homosexuals and that
a CANA Mission, St. Brendan's in the City holds Sunday evening services
in the Central Union building!

Diocesan officials vigorously denied this, but no one has officially
contradicted anything Hutt has written. Here's a bishop that keeps
bashing Global South primates like Nigerian Primate Peter Akinola for
being obsessed with the homosexual agenda and ignoring pressing issues
of poverty, AIDS and injustice.

Chane has shown himself to be precisely interested in gay sex and is
trying to prevent the homeless from getting shelter in the nation's
capitol! Chane thy name is hypocrisy. According to an official blurb at
their website, "Central Union Mission is a highly-respected mission
outreach to the homeless of Washington, D.C. Where other city outreaches
to the homeless fail, Central Mission remains a crucial component to the
church's commitment for justice and compassion for all." You can read
