HEY KIDS!! WHAT TIME IS IT?!!
It’s time for another edition of everybody’s favorite new game Where’s Robbie? in which we try to locate the whereabouts of homosexual Bishop Gene Robinson, who is a homosexual. As usual, “Nowhere near New Hampshire” is not an acceptable answer.
Give up? Recently, Robbie was in Washington DC, Our Nation’s Capital, urging some Methodists there to committ seppuku:
A United Methodist congregation should conduct same-sex marriages despite the possibility of negative consequences, according to Bishop Gene Robinson of the Episcopal Diocese of Seriously-There’s-No-Point-In-Even-Mentioning-It-Anymore.
“I’m here to tell you that when you speak about God’s limitless, boundless and unimaginable love, you will get into trouble: I promise you, I know this,” Robinson said to the congregation.
Robinson, the first openly gay partnered bishop in the Episcopal Church, delivered the message during a visit to Foundry United Methodist Church in Washington, D.C. on Sunday. Robinson both gave a sermon at the invitation of Foundry’s Senior Pastor, Dean Snyder, as well as answered questions from church members during an informal session following the Sunday morning worship services.
Snyder was a vocal advocate of the legalization of same-sex marriages in the District of Columbia, joining many other United Methodist clergy in Washington as part of a pro-same-sex marriage coalition. Since the enactment of same-sex marriage by the District’s council earlier this year, clergy are legally permitted to conduct such marriages in the Nation’s capital.
Foundry is currently engaged in a “Summer of Great Discernment” program as an inquiry about issues relating to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) members of the congregation. The discernment time will conclude with a congregational vote in September to determine a pastoral response to the legalization of same-sex marriage in the District.
