Controversial gay bishop to visit Scots churches
Gene Robinson, the openly gay bishop who has been barred from attending the Lambeth Conference with Anglican church leaders this week, is to visit Scotland at the invitation of senior Scots clergy.The American bishop will attend churches in Glasgow and Edinburgh next month and address congregations before speaking at a church festival event.
Bishop Robinson has been invited by the Very Reverend Kelvin Holdsworth, Provost of St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral in Glasgow, to preach and celebrate the Eucharist on August 3.
Later the same day he will take part in the Festival of Spirituality and Peace at St John's in Princes Street in Edinburgh and will be involved in a conversation session three days later.
A spokeswoman for the Scottish Episcopal Church said: "The church does not have a view on Bishop Robinson and the Lambeth Conference. Individuals within the church have their own views."
