Bishop Gene Robinson of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire recently told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow that he "saw God at work in Zuccotti Park" while visiting the increasingly violent Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protests. Robinson believes these demonstrations are about "grieving over the loss of community," even though "it seems to be about the dollars and the figures." He explained, "[it] seems to me that people are mourning the fact that we have become a society where it's every man woman and child for themselves, and not a society in which we actually do care for one another as a community."
"This is huge," Robinson said, because "it's the beginning of a conversation that we've needed to have for a long time about what our responsibility is to one another."
Soon to retire, Robinson is famous for becoming the Episcopal Church's first openly homosexual bishop. His 2003 election led to an ongoing schism within the global Anglican communion.
