There’s been something of a run of negative stories about Episcopal priests of late. There was the priest in Seattle who converted to Islam but was still functioning as a priest (her bishop has since put her on a year’s leave). There are of course stories of sexual and financial misconduct. But the icing on the cake was the story in Sunday’s NY Times about the ex-porn star who wants to be ordained. The article claimed he was in the ordination process. It turns out there were a number of errors in the article. If you want to get the real story, go here. By the way, that link takes you to Episcope which does a great job of tracking Anglican and Episcopal news and also works very hard to get the facts of the stories correct.

Today, the Times redeemed itself, somewhat, with an article on an Episcopalian Chaplain at St. Luke’s Presbyterian Hospital in New York. The article is here (You may need to register to access it).
