The Rev. Larry Benfield, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Arkansas, has written a letter to Natural State Episcopalians portraying gay ordination and same-sex blessings as a victory for God and a defeat for the devil and all his works.
The General Convention's "moderate" votes in favor of ordaining and blessing homosexuality will allow the church to shift its attention from chromosomes to mission, Benfield predicts, writing: "I often say that Satan likes us to talk about sex; it takes our focus off of our mission. And if that supposition is true, we have given Satan one less tool for the next three years."
