PITTSBURGH (AP) — The leader of a network of Episcopal Church conservatives said the statement from the denomination's bishops, expressing "sincere regret" for the pain caused by the consecration of an openly gay bishop, falls short of what's needed.
Bishop Robert Duncan of Pittsburgh was among 21 of 150 bishops who said the denomination must express regret for its actions, which have disrupted world Anglicanism, and must agree to impose requested moratoriums on consecrations of gay bishops and conducting same-sex blessing rites.
Another conservative, Bishop Jack Iker of Fort Worth, Texas, said the Episcopal bishops want to remain part of the Anglican Communion "while continuing to reject the clear teaching of the Communion on matters of sexual morality."
