The Bishop-elect of the Diocese of Alabama, the Rev. John "Kee" McKee Sloan says that it has been a "trying decade" for The Episcopal Church.

Henry Parsley, who will retire in January after 15 years as bishop travel north and serve the national church in New York City.
Sloan served 14 years as rector for St. Thomas' Episcopal Church in Huntsville. He has been Alabama's bishop suffragan since 2008.
Sloan said in the interview that opinions remain divided over the issues of same-sex marriage and the election of openly gay clergy. In 2003, the Episcopal Church became the first denomination to elect an openly active non-celibate homosexual to the episcopacy.
