Church of the Week: Episcopalian Church
December 12, 2009
On December 5th, 2009. Los Angeles Episcopalians elected an openly lesbian Rev. Mary D. Glasspool as Bishop. Glasspool has been an ordained priest for 27 years and is the daughter of an Episcopal priest. This election occurred soon after the ban to keep gays from having a place in the church’s highest ministry was lifted.
Not only is she the first lesbian, she joined Rev. Canon Diane M. Jardine Bruce as the first 2 women elected to the title of bishop in the church’s 114 year history.
Congrats to them both!
