US-GAY-RELIGION
A protester who goes by the name Brother Williams demonstrates against the election of Reverend Canon Mary Glasspool, who is openly gay, to the position of Bishop in the Episcopal church, outside City Hall in Los Angeles on December 8, 2009. The recent election of a second openly gay bishop in the Anglican Church drew a stern warning from the Archbishop of Canterbury, head of the 77 million Anglicans worldwide. The move from the Episcopal diocese of Los Angeles to elect 55-year-old Reverend Canon Mary Glasspool, who has been in a relationship with another woman since 1988, comes months after the US church lifted a ban on gay bishops. Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, wary of the schism that threatened to break the Church when the first gay bishop was ordained six years ago, issued a statement apparently aimed at making the Los Angeles diocese rethink.
