It is simultaneously exciting and amusing to see Episcopal leaders like Dean Gary Hall of Washington National Cathedral suddenly getting attention for saying things they have been saying for years.
Salon is among the media outlets that took notice of Hall’s recent sermon in which he said that homophobia is a sin.
It is worth remembering that the Episcopal Church’s willingness to speak clearly and forcefully in accessible theological terms is still regarded as news by folks who make decisions about what hundreds of thousands of people will read, watch or hear.
