Christian Century, Dec 11, 2007
In a church election watched closely, Jeffrey Lee, a Midwest native and rector of a church in Medina, Washington, was picked on the second ballot November 10 to be the next Episcopal bishop of Chicago. Lee won over seven other candidates, including Tracey Lind, the openly lesbian dean of Trinity Cathedral in Cleveland.
The Episcopal House of Bishops, in an effort to placate traditionalist Anglicans upset over the 2003 approval of Bishop V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire, had agreed in September to refrain from consecrating another bishop in a same-gender relationship. Lind placed fourth on the final ballot. Lee, 50, who got 337 votes to 174 for the second-place candidate, said after his victory that he is grateful to serve a diocese so rich in diversity, and that he favors full inclusion of gays and lesbians in ministry: "The church has to catch up with God's vision."
