  1. I believe at the end of the day our relationships will see us through and the Anglican Communion will stay together.
  2. What can churches do to welcome GLBT people? Invite them. Mention them from the pulpit.
  3. What sustains you? I love my diocese. It's the only place I'm not the gay bishop. I'm just the bishop.
  4. +Gene wants us to know: If God can loves someone like me, surely God can love someone like you.
  5. Dean Lind: What's your favorite color and why? +Gene: Purple!
  6. Episcopalians fight about everything, then we go to the altar for the body and blood of Christ. Then we keep fighting. It's our charism.
  7. I am standing here as Bishop of NH because drag queens got fed up, because of Harvey Milk, and to be another set of shoulders for others.
  8. The real message of the Bible is that God is all about justice, and in the end, God wins. That's what keeps us going. God wins.
  9. We know how this is going to end. It is going to end with the full inclusion of GLBT people.
  10. It's sometimes harder for gay people to come out as religious than to come out as gay. We have much to repent for.
  11. Exodus is the greatest coming out story of all time. But the the water parts not all at once, but one footfall at a time.
  12. We need to take the Bible back from the religious right that has been holding it hostage. This is going to take work.
  13. Tolerance is better than outright hatred, but not much. If you're white and not working to dismantle racism, you're benefitting from it.
  14. The church changed its mind before. Divorced people couldn't get remarried or take communion. Then we saw the blessing 2nd marriages can be.
  15. The Holy Spirit is trying to lead us into a greater truth--like ending slavery, ordaining women. God is pushing the fence away.
  16. Jesus says, "There is much more that I will teach you, but you cannot bear it right now." God has so much more to teach us.
  17. The Bible simply does not address loving, faithful relationships between two people of the same gender. But it says a lot about love.
  18. Anglican Communion is like a family: gay kid (+Gene) comes home and says he's gay. Dad (ABC) struggles, and family's world view changes.
  19. Bumper sticker in Memphis: Homosexuals--every good Southern family has one.
  20. +Gene brings greetings from the people of NH and from Trinity's former canon, Kurt Wiesner. Kurt gets applause, but they're keeping him.
