Bishop disciplined for same sex 'marriage'

The Episcopal Diocese of California has sanctioned a retired bishop for marrying his same-sex partner during a church ceremony in San Francisco, according to a published report.

The diocese has revoked the Rev. Otis Charles’ licence to officiate and removed him as an assisting bishop, according to an article published Thursday in The Living Church, a magazine for Episcopalians. The Episcopal church is the US branch of the Anglican Communion.
