Edinburgh welcomes controversial gay bishop
Controversial Bishop Gene Robinson was given a warm welcome when he visited a city church.Following high-profile appearances in Edinburgh and Glasgow the openly gay bishop, who was barred from the recent Lambeth Conference, attended St Columba's-by-the-Castle Episcopal Church and was welcomed with applause.
He was invited to preach and to lead the Communion service, something which he had been prohibited from doing in England.
He told churchgoers: "This is not St Columba's Church's table, it is Gods' table. No-one is excluded from God's Table," before saying he was looking forward to meeting his greatest critic, Archbishop Akinola from Nigeria in Heaven.
"I tell you , we're both going to be there," he said.
