Thank you for your comment. After further searching, you’re right; I was wrong… to the degree that his family supports him and the divorce was mutally agreed upon and procured amicably.

However, the chance that they would still be married despite his homosexual preference if he were truly acting according to the dictates of both Jesus and St. Paul are very high. Love and responsibility go hand and hand.

At any rate, your’e right that misrepresented that part of his life. Thank you for the links.

This doesn’t make an impact the fact that the Church is in choas, and in fact that it is so embraced (divorce, same sex unions, etc.) in the Episcopal church is a big part of why the church is in a crisis.

Gene Robinson did not leave his wife, nor desert his family.

Their divorce was a joint decision and one that included a church service where they asked for each other’s forgiveness and both pledged to raise their daughters together. After his wife remarried, he met his current partner, Mark, while on vacation. Furthermore, both his ex-wife and his daughter Ella gave full support to his consecration as a bishop. His other daughter couldn’t be there because she was giving birth. (Christianity Today article, BBC article, Guardian article, Anglicans Online article)
