Women Priest Issue Smolders At Episcopalian Convention
MINNEAPOLIS AP The Episcopal Church faces upheaval over whether to ordain women as priests during its 60th triennial general convention. A worship service for supporters of ordination saw bishops who aided women’s ordination barred from administering communion, while others remained seated.

Several bishops have pledged to proceed with ordination despite possible outcomes.
