From the Frank Lombard School of Divinity: Episcopalians: Bishops can bless same-sex union
Now they just need some new and younger altar boys:
Episcopalians on Friday authorized bishops to bless same-sex unions and research an official prayer for the ceremonies, capping a meeting that moved the church closer to accepting gay relationships despite turmoil over the issue in the Anglican family.

The episcopal General Convention also underscored the church's desire to remain a full member of the global Anglican Communion. But the actions at the national assembly are likely to damage the already strained relations within the fellowship.
Delegates voted earlier this week to effectively drop a pledge that they would act with "restraint" when considering any more openly gay candidates for bishop.
The Episcopal gay advocacy group Integrity said the church "turned an important corner" with the vote.
