Vote on gay bishop is delayed
US Episcopal leaders delayed a vote on whether to confirm the church’s first openly gay elected bishop after allegations emerged that he inappropriately touched a man and posted a pornography link on a youth website, a church spokesman said.
Presiding Bishop Frank Griswold, head of the Episcopal Church, released a statement last night announcing the delay as a debate was about to start on whether to confirm the Rev Gene Robinson as New Hampshire’s bishop.
