What's Wrong With This Picture?

On Saturday, the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles elected Mary Glasspool to be suffragan bishop. Bp-elect Glasspool is a lesbian.

The Archbishop of Canterbury issued a brief statement wringing his hands about the implications of this election in the midst of tensions in the Anglican Communion. We may strain the bonds of affection, he says.

Would that he would wring his hands as visibly about the law condemning homosexuals in Uganda to life imprisonment and in some cases death, a law that is supported by the leaders of the Church of Uganda. He has been silent. No worry about the bonds of affection in play here?

What has happened to him?
