Presiding Bishop Frank Griswold announces debating will take place on
the seating of Rev. Gene Robinson to bishops assembled in the Hall of
Bishops at the 74th General Convention of the Episcopal Church meeting
in the Minneapolis Convention Center, August 5, 2003. U.S. Episcopalian
leaders on Tuesday dismissed sexual misconduct allegations against
Robinson, the church's first openly gay bishop, clearing the way for
the vote of bishops that is likely to approve his installation.
