On the roles of faith, hope, and love in social justice; and why loving our fellow human beings has nothing to do with liking them.
Robinson's momentum: "As a human being and as a Christian, I am passionate about joining God in loving and liberating the poor, the marginalized and the disenfranchised. The closer we are to those who are in the margins, the closer we get to God."

Gene Robinson
Gene Robinson was elected Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire in 2003, becoming the first openly gay diocesan bishop in the Anglican Communion. In 2009, he received the Stephen F.

He is the author of "In the Eye of the Storm" and the subject of the forthcoming documentary "The Truth Will Set You Free."
In some Christian churches, the chief pastor and overseer of a diocese, an area containing several congregations. From the 4th century AD until the Reformation, bishops held broad secular and religious powers, including the settling of disputes, ordination of clergy, and confirmation of church members. Some Christian churches (notably the Anglican, Roman Catholic, and Eastern Orthodox churches) continue the bishop's office and the doctrine of Apostolic succession. Others, including some Lutheran and Methodist churches, retain bishops but not the principle of apostolic succession; still others have abolished the office altogether. Popes, cardinals, archbishops, patriarchs, and metropolitans are gradations of bishops. In Roman Catholicism, the pope selects the bishop; in Anglicanism, the dean and chapter of the cathedral of the diocese elect the bishop; in Methodism a synod chooses the bishop. See alsoepiscopacy.
Obviously it's ridiculous that people hate him, let alone to the point of trying to kill him, but it remains the case that he's clearly unfit to be a Bishop.
Seems bizarre to hear him lecturing me on faith and spiritual power when his own faith isn't strong enough for him to to keep himself within the rules of his position.
How is it that he is unfit to be a bishop, and how is he outside the rules of his position? There must be some background info that I am unaware of.
