"Glasspool is the first openly gay bishop in the Episcopal Church since Gene Robinson took office in New Hampshire in 2004. Episcopalians instituted a temporary ban on gay bishops after Robinson's ordination but revoked that ban last summer.
The daughter of a priest, Glasspool was one of two openly gay candidates on the slate in the Los Angeles diocese. She has said that her sexual orientation is 'not an issue.'
Bishop Jon Bruno of Los Angeles called Glasspool, an ordained priest for 28 years, a 'highly qualified and experienced' cleric.
'She's not afraid of conflict and is a reconciler,' Bruno said, according to the Episcopal Church website."
It is an issue with God!
