Episcopal debate will be made by two old friends
Two old friends, both former pastors at the same parish, will be debating whether the Episcopal Church should develop a blessing for same-sex couples at the denomination's national convention Friday in Minneapolis. The Rev. Kendall Harmon will argue against blessing same-sex couples. The Very Rev. Samuel Candler will argue in favor of developing a new liturgy. It's a high-stakes gathering that many fear could split the church. "It shows there are friends on both sides who love and respect each other," said the Rev. Michael Lumpkin, the present rector at St. Paul's. Both Harmon and Candler said they expect to remain friends after the convention, however the vote turns out. "I call it God's sense of humor," said Harmon. Post and Courier
