Threatening an already fragile worldwide Anglican Communion, on December 5 the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles elected Canon Mary Glasspool, a lesbian, as suffragan bishop for the diocese. Canon Glasspool becomes the second openly gay bishop in the PECUSA after V. Gene Robinson, who was consecrated bishop of New Hampshire in 2003.

Canon Glasspool is the second lesbian to be elected bishop in a major Protestant Church, after Eva Brunne, who was consecrated in the (Lutheran) Church of Sweden.

Glasspool’s election will need to be confirmed by other American Episcopal dioceses prior to her consecration.
