When the Episcopal House of Bishops and Standing Committees in the Episcopal Church cast their votes for a new bishop in the Diocese of New Hampshire, they will have an opportunity to vote for yet another non-celibate homogenital bishop to replace Bishop Gene Robinson. It will be déjà vu all over again for this diocese.
On the short ballot of three nominees is the Rev. William Rich, Senior Associate Rector for Christian Formation at Trinity Church in Boston in the Diocese of Massachusetts. Massachusetts is one of the most revisionist dioceses in the Episcopal Church. If he wins, he will bring his "husband", Dr. Donald Schiermer, along to the party.
The other two candidates are the Rev. A. Robert Hirschfeld, who serves as rector of Grace Episcopal Church in Amherst, MA, and the Rev. Penelope Bridges, the rector of St. Francis Episcopal Church in Great Falls, VA. None of the candidates are from the Diocese of New Hampshire.
