GENE ROBINSON as the first openly gay bishop of the EPISCOPAL CHURCH USA. The leadership of the worldwide Anglican Communion, of which the Episcopalians are a part, had warily anticipated the moment with bated breath. Robinson's election in June 2002 by the Diocese of New Hampshire and his confirmation in August at the denomination's General Convention, and a Canadian Anglican diocese's decision to allow blessings for same-gender couples earlier that year, sent traditionalists into a tailspin. They warned that the gay priest's elevation to bishop in particular would put the unity of the Communion in serious jeopardy. But Robinson firmly resisted calls for him to step aside, and when the day arrived, three to four thousand supporters, including some 50 bishops, gathered to witness his consecration at the University of New Hampshire's Whittemore Center in Durham. Inside, singing with her Exeter church's 100-voice choir, was Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays National Board Member PEGGY GAGE. A lifelong, active Episcopalian, Gage described the groundbreaking event from her unique perspective and participant's view of the proceedings for This Way Out's GREG GORDON [includes excerpts from choral music during the ceremony, and statements by two of the people who spoke in opposition to Robinson's consecration, REVEREND EARL FOX of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (with a response by PRESIDING BISHOP FRANK GRISWOLD) and MEREDITH HARWOOD from St. Mark's Church in Ashland, New Hampshire, remarks by Robinson himself -- all thanks to RAQUEL MARIA DILLON and JON GREENBERG of New Hampshire Public Radio -- plus a brief post-consecration comment by the Episcopal News Service's JAMES SOLHEIM, and a November 2007 "postscript"]. . . . . . . . 15:52 Closing Credits/continuity. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:27 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28:42 =================================== * ============================== STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT," THE ORIGINS OF ANGLICAN ANGST: REMEMBERING THE NOVEMBER 2003 CONSECRATION OF OPENLY GAY U.S. EPISCOPAL BISHOP V.
