Bishop Gene Robinson, the openly gay Episcopal prelate whose consecration led conservatives to split from the church, said in an interview on Thursday that he and his partner of 20 years were planning a civil union ceremony to be held in his home church in the diocese of New Hampshire in June.

This reminds me of the time our great King Henry VIII decided that his own style of church suited his needs best and thus seperated from the Roman church...if the Rev Bishop Robinson feels the need to set a precedent, then why ever not?  This is how laws and traditions begin is it not?  :laugh:
