Snubbed gay bishop throws his own party at Lambeth gathering
All of the 800 Anglican bishops who gather this week for the once-a-decade Lambeth Conference were invited personally by the Archbishop of Canterbury himself. Gene Robinson, the church’s first openly gay bishop, was not one of them. But he’s there anyway, speaking up for the gay and lesbian clergy. Guest: The Rt. Rev. V. Gene Robinson, Ninth Bishop of the Diocese of New Hampshire Episcopal Church
