Rev. Bonnie Sarah reprimanded for marrying woman
The Rev. Bonnie Sarah Spencer of Good Shepherd Episcopal Church in Colorado recently celebrated a commitment ceremony with her female partner in the church building. Spencer is assistant rector to Colorado's Episocal Bishop, Rob O'Neill, who has admonished her for "very poor judgment." Although Spencer did not violate church canons, diocesan ethics guidelines or its sexual misconduct policy, she must take a six-week leave of absence for her "potentially divisive" actions. Because the Episcopal Church is currently going through a bit of an upheaval over same-sex unions, Spencer's private ceremony apparently crossed a line.
