As the Anglican Communion's first openly homosexual partnered bishop enters retirement, he plans to serve as bishop-in-residence at a Dupont Circle parish.
Religion News Service has an informative new article this week about homosexual partnered Bishop Gene Robinson and his plans after his January 5 retirement. Unsurprisingly, the New Hampshire bishop plans to relocate to Washington, D.C., where he already serves as a senior fellow with the liberal Center for American Progress. Robinson's partner will remain in New Hampshire, where he is employed.
Mostly, the article focuses on Robinson's aspiring role within public policy "as a bridge builder for a nation strained by divisive issues." Part of this will be the founding of a "Center for Non-Violent Communication" at his new parish home, St. Thomas' Episcopal Church in Dupont Circle, where he plans to preach once a month as bishop-in-residence.
