In Christ There Is No Gay or Straight?: Homosexuality and the Episcopal Church*
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Although gay rights movement initially had little or no specifically religious motivation or sanction, it has had dramatic impact on virtually every religious institution in United States, point that 1991 statement by National Council of Churches called issue of homosexuality a great seismic in the face of American Christianity.1 Situated directly on this fault line is Episcopal Church, especially since confirmation in 2003 of an openly gay bishop. Homosexuality threatens create schism in United States church and fracture world-wide Anglican communion, and it is surely safe say that question of homosexuality will continue be one of most contentious questions facing church for foreseeable future. Now therefore seems an opportune time review church's struggle with homosexuality over last three decades in order see what lessons can be learned from recent past. I. BEGINNING THE DIALOGUE The event that marks symbolic beginning of battle over homosexuality within Episcopal Church was Louie Crew's founding of monthly newsletter entitled Integrity: Gay Episcopalian Forum in November 1974. A gay Episcopalian living in Fort Valley, Georgia, Crew conceived of newsletter as forum help gay and lesbian Christians reach out one another, gay community, and Church.2 The first issue quoted John Allin as saying that he would carry concern you have expressed [in general letter on behalf of gay Christians] with me as I enter office of Presiding as well as quotations from many others expressing support.3 Integrity newsletter soon led Integrity, an organization. Crew incorporated it in Georgia in January, 1975, at which time newsletter had 120 paid subscriptions. That month, James Wickliff, gay, lay Christian who was veteran of Korean War and professor of Humanities at College of Continuing Education at Roosevelt University, convened first local chapter of Integrity at his home in Chicago. By April, Integrity boasted chapters in Boston, Minneapolis, North Central Rural Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, and San Francisco, with additional chapters forming in New York City, Atlanta, South West Ohio and Northern Kentucky, and Washington, DC.4 That August, Chicago chapter hosted first national convention of Integrity at Cathedral Church of Saint James, with over two hundred in attendance and Suffragan Bishop of Chicago Quintin Primo as primary celebrant at Eucharist, along with fifteen clergymen as concelebrants. Wickliff and Ellen Marie Barrett were elected first co-presidents of new organization (thus maintaining gender balance).5 At twenty-nine, Barrett already had significant experience as gay activist, had graduated with Masters of Divinity from General Theological Seminary, and had been active as an associate editor of Integrity for six months.6 By end of its first year, Integrity had 500 members, and listed twenty-three chapters based in cities around United States as well as one in Australia and one in Canada.7 At same time Integrity was forming, church was officially discussing question of homosexuality. In 1974, Joint Commission on Church in Human Affairs (JCCHA) formed Task Force on Homophiles. At recommendation of task force, House of Bishops passed Resolution on Homophiles that presiding bishop ask JCCHA to assure continuation of dialogue between Church and leaders of organizing forum for homophiles who are active members of Episcopal Church [Integrity], which he did.8 Under leadership of Bishop George Murray of Central Gulf Coast diocese, JCCHA met with Integrity in Atlanta in January, and, based partly on that meeting, proposed resolutions 1976 General Convention that church recognize gay and lesbian people as children of God and also that church formally oppose sodomy laws. …
