from the new york times, whose article was generally so awful that i'm not going to link it, one choice quote:

"I am proud to be in a church which works to be a safe place for all of God's children," the bishop-elect said.

me too. i only wish that the people currently fearmongering about schism could understand that they, not robinson, would be the ones to force such a split. the rest of us -- the majority of us -- are willing to keep talking, keep figuring this out.
