There are 28 newer articles listed at the top of last week's VIRTUOSITY ARCHIVES at http://listserv.episcopalian.org/scripts/wa.exe?A1=ind0406a&L=virtuosity for anyone interested in reading them. According to this one article called " Massachusetts Episcopal Bishop Caught Amid Split Over Gay Marriages at http://listserv.episcopalian.org/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind0406a&L=virtuosity&D=1&H=1&O=D&F=&S=&P=4281
"At least two local Episcopal priests, the Rev. I. Carter Heyward, a
professor of theology at Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, and the
Rev. William Blaine-Wallace, the rector of Emmanuel Church in the Back
Bay, have already officiated at three same-sex weddings, in defiance of
instructions Shaw issued in the weeks before such unions became legal in
Massachusetts. In addition, two Episcopal parishes, Our Saviour in Arlington and Our
Saviour in Milton, have decided to stop having clergy officiate at
heterosexual marriages while homosexual marriages are prohibited, and
Episcopal Divinity School, the only Episcopal seminary in New England,
has decided to bar all Episcopal marriages in its chapel as a form of
protest." (PLEASE READ THE FULL STORY AT THE ABOVE LINK)
