TEC History of LGBT Debate

I've started a separate blog on this site where I'll be posting a history I started writing some time ago of debates within ECUSA/TEC on sexuality since the early/mid 1970s.

I'm hoping it will produce comments, corrections, new insights and help us understand how this Anglican province got to the place it did in 2003 with the consecration of Gene Robinson and now has reaffirmed in 2010 with the consents to the election of a partnered lesbian as a suffragan bishop in Los Angeles.

If you have comments please do post them on the blog entries or email me with them. Thanks.

The work appears both as PDF chapters and as smaller blog entries.

I'm also posting some of the key primary documents from the period covered.

Information on the project here and from links on the left-hand sidebar under the new section "Anglican Communion Matters".
