Gay clergy ordered to marry partners

Long Island Episcopal Bishop Lawrence Provenzano has ordered his gay priests who live with their partners to marry them in nine months or live separately.

I need to be mindful that the church has always asked people to live in committed monogamous, faithful relationships. I won’t allow heterosexual clergy to live in a rectory or church housing without the benefit of marriage. When one puts it in that context, then you see how it all begins to make sense.
