The opening event, a concert by The Crossing began in the gay flaming parish of St. Clement's whose priest, the Rev. Gordon Reid, has been exposed by VOL as having a long history of homosexual activity that included sex with hundreds of partners, group sex orgies, extreme sadomasochistic sex acts and prostitution when he was in Scotland.

“I'm not surprised to see that ECUSA has gone 'all the way' to celebration of gay marriage, and also embraced transgender individuals as one more discriminated minority that requires inclusion. It’s a natural follow-on from the emphasis on equality of result, and just one more way station on the way to the acceptance of other, even more exotic behaviors such as polyamory which are sure to come,” she wrote to VOL.

"We also appreciate and support all the faithful in Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) as well as those in the Anglican Church in Canada who remain true to our biblical and historic faith."

To date, Lambeth Palace has not responded to e-mails requesting a reaction to the passage of Resolution A049 (same-sex liturgies). The Anglican Communion Office has also not issued a statement.

The Rt. Rev. Dan Martins of Springfield told VOL that he has heard nothing from 815 and only learned about the charges second hand.
