The Episcopol Church is actually very similiar to the Catholic Church, however, they have married ministers, will convert ministers to priests *and they can even keep their families *how nice. Anyway, why do they make such a point that a minister is gay or straight. I don't think they should put that much emphasis on that issue. Preference is preference. Of course Catholics do not agree, but most politicians are of a Protestant religion, and gays are accepted in these religions. Of course, you can't beat a dead horse. It was probably best not to know either way. Priests could never come out of the closet, but a minister can. That's a kind of apple, orange thing....ANON
PS: If I am correct, the Episcopal church does not believe in saints. Don't know if my spelling is correct, but who cares.
